What is a Container Facility Fee? 

The Container Facility Fee is a single flat fee applied to container movements at or via the ports of New York and Newark.

The surcharge is a direct result of fees imposed by the Port Authority, which are subsequently passed on by ocean carriers.

If applicable, a Container Facility Fee will appear on your Flexport quote or invoice as a destination charge.
