    Demurrage Charges due to Customs Error

    Unfortunately there are a number of freight companies that charge punitive demurrage charges. They see this as a way to make huge profit out of the misfortune of others. These charges have no relation to the costs they are paying whether or not they are using a third party warehouse.
