Implementation of Port Security for US & Canada Exports - Effective October 1, 2026

Effective October 1, 2026, Maersk will implement a new surcharge to recover terminal-related security costs associated with export cargo originating from the United States and Canada.

Please see the applicable charge details below:

For FMC-regulated cargo, including exempt cargo loaded at U.S. ports, the effective date will be determined by the date Maersk takes possession of the final container covered under the bill of lading.

For cargo loaded in Canada, the effective date will be based on the vessel's scheduled sailing date.

Unless otherwise specified in your shipping instructions, these charges will be assessed on a prepaid basis.

We appreciate your continued business and thank you for choosing Maersk.

If you have any questions or would like further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact your local Sales or Customer Experience Representative. Contact details for all local offices are available on maersk.com.
