LAX – TMF PierPASS Rate Increase Effective November 1st 2023

NOTICE TO DIRECT PAY CUSTOMERS

Effective November 1, 2023  the Traffic Mitigation Fee (TMF) will increase to $40.00 per TEU and $75.00 per FEU.  

Direct Pay accounts claiming and paying for Import Containers prior to the rate increase will still be responsible for the entire new fee if the containers move on or after

November 1st, 2023 .

If an Import container is claimed/paid for at the old  rates but moves on or after November 1, 2023, then the additional fees will need to be collected after the move.

Containers may be claimed at the new rate after close of business (6pm PDT) Tuesday, October 31, 2023. 

Do not attempt to unclaim and reclaim unmoved Import containers claimed prior to 6pm on Tuesday Oct 31st  as this could prevent the container from being released on or after November  1st. To minimize the administrative burden, we recommend that you delay claiming/prepaying containers until after 6 pm on Tuesday , October 31st for containers anticipated to move on or after Wednesday November 1, 2023. 

PierPASS Customer Service Center representatives will contact you after November 1st to resolve any balance(s) due. 

Direct Pay Exports will be billed based on the fee rate in place at the time of the gate transaction and do not require prepayment.
