A $15 dollar per 20 foot equivalent on loaded containers entering or leaving the Los Angeles and Long Beach port has been approved. This fee will be added to truck or rail leaving the port and was approved by the port commissioners.
The fee will be applied once per loaded container, helping to avoid double charges. The first terminal to handle the container will collect the fee. Fees will not be collected on empty container moves.
The new fees are expected to generate around $1.4 billion for transportation projects.
