According to the electronic voting results on March 31, 2016, some members from Transpacific Stabilization Agreement (TSA) suggested that As of May 1, 2016, the fares of the following commodities will be changed on a voluntary and non-binding basis as follows:
Fast payment by dollars
Frozen cherries: $ 6,100 (including DTHC-Destination Terminal Handling Charge)
Frozen stonefruit (peach / nectarine / apricot / plum / Plouts): $ 3,600
Frozen grapes: $ 3,300 (including DTHC-Destination Terminal Handling Charge)
These recommendation fares contain fuel surcharge rates / low sulfur fuel surcharges / document fees and Destination Terminal Handling Charges (unless directed otherwise).
The current market operations fares of these related commodities will remain in effect until the end of January each year. Therefore, as of today, there will no longer be a tariff rate guide for 2016, whose main target is to provide extra transparency and sustainability for the market before all the main shipping season ( from May until September or October) arrives.
This guide will be followed by the members on a voluntary and non-binding basis. All the members from TSA may at any time withdraw this guide, which applies the transpacific trade routes between America and China.
