Mawani allows cargo release before payment under temporary fee exemptions

Mawani standardizes 15-day cap on transit storage fee exemption periods

Mawani released details regarding its transit storage fee exemptions, which now allow for a maximum of 15 days of storage over a two-month period. The Saudi Ports Authority had announced last week it would allow importers and exporters to release goods from port terminals before settling storage fees.

The details: The exemption applies to transit cargo, including containers, flatbeds, trailers, and hazardous goods at Jeddah Islamic Port. The same exemption was extended for general cargo and RoRo (excluding containers) at King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam, King Fahd Industrial Port in Yanbu, Yanbu Commercial Port, and the Port of Neom, according to another announcement.
