What are EBS fees?
The full name of EBS in English is: Emerent Buker Surchanges, which means: emergency fuel surcharge in Chinese. The Emergency Bunker Surcharge (EBS) is charged in RMB per TEU. This fee is usually paid in advance and is often charged on Southeast Asia, Taiwan, Australia and short-sea routes.
The collection of Emergency Bunker Surcharge (EBS) is essentially a fee charged by shipping companies to balance the additional fuel costs incurred by ship navigation based on fluctuations in international crude oil and refined oil prices.
EBS fees are charged under what circumstances:
Do I need to pay EBS fee for FOB? In fact, it is not necessary. EBS is a surcharge for ocean freight and is not a local fee for FOB. Customers do not need to pay EBS fees when doing FOB. However, some shipping companies are unable to collect this fee from customers, so they pass the EBS fee on to FOB customers. If customers encounter shipping companies or freight forwarders asking for EBS fees, they can try to negotiate with the customers and ask them to bear the EBS fees. In addition, if agreed with the customer, EBS fees can generally be paid in advance or on delivery.
Currently, Shenzhen and Shanghai ports have increased EBS fees for trips to Southeast Asia.
The current charging standard of EBS fee in Shenzhen is: RMB900/20GP; RMB1800/40GP, 40HQ (ie: RMB900/TUE)
The current EBS fee in Shanghai is RMB 900/20GP; RMB 1800/40GP, 40HQ (RMB 900/TUE)
