<h1>India Waives Demurrage Fees During COVID-19 Lockdown to Ease Importers' Burden; Ports Must Comply.</h1> The Ministry of Shipping, Government of India, issued an order waiving demurrage charges during the COVID-19 lockdown, effective from 21 April 2020. This directive, reiterated by the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs, mandates that no penal charges, demurrages, or detention charges be levied by ports, terminal operators, and related entities for cargo delays caused by the lockdown. The order aims to alleviate the burden on importers and other stakeholders affected by the disrupted logistics chain. Compliance with this directive is required from all relevant parties, including ports, ICDs, CFSs, and shipping lines.
