Ports in London, Tilbury, Southampton and Teesport are charging customers new, additional fees that range from £17 to £25 per entry.

Moreover, Southampton and DP World have introduced a levy of £11 per removal, which one source described as an “insurance against cost of examinations,” according to a report in the B2B supply chain publication The Loadstar.
