If the container floor is greasy, the warehouse owner will ask the shipping unit to advance money. The amount is more or less depending on the degree of flow and oiliness (maybe millions to hundreds of millions for 1 container).
At that time, the container truck owner must advance this amount if he wants to bring the container to the warehouse. Without paying the fee, the vehicle owner will not be able to remove the empty container from the vehicle and continue to use the vehicle to load other goods, the longer it is, the greater the costs and delays.
After the container truck receives the goods, the goods owner brings the “Container Bill of Lading” and the “Collection Receipt” to ask the importer to pay an advance. These costs are mostly charged to the importing unit.
