Inland Haulage Charges (IHC) are fees incurred for the transportation of cargo between a port and an inland location, such as a warehouse, distribution center, or final destination, using trucks or trains.
Inland Haulage Charges cover the cost of moving goods from the port of entry or exit to an inland location, or vice versa. This transportation is crucial for completing the supply chain, especially in cases where the final delivery point is not near the seaport. IHC can vary based on the distance traveled, the mode of transport (road or rail), the type of cargo, and regional logistics infrastructure. These charges are an essential component of the overall shipping cost and are typically arranged by freight forwarders or logistics providers. Efficient management of inland haulage is vital for ensuring timely deliveries and controlling transportation costs, directly impacting the overall efficiency of supply chain operations.
