The surcharges will become applicable on November 1, 2026, based on the vessel loading date. For shipments originating from the United States and Brazil, implementation will be deferred to November 15, 2026.  

This measure reflects persistent operational challenges—including extended dwell times, limited berth availability, and reduced terminal productivity—currently observed at the aforementioned ports.
