As a freight forwarder specializing in China-Europe and China-Australia container shipping, we're constantly monitoring changes in the shipping industry that can impact our customers.

Effective from June and July 2026, Maersk has introduced three separate tariff updates affecting cargo movements to and from Australia and New Zealand.

Key Updates to Watch

One of the key updates is the Port Additional surcharge for both export and import cargo at Port Chalmers, New Zealand, which will take effect from July 1, 2026. This rate applies to all container types in New Zealand dollars.

For shippers relying on these routes, it's essential to factor these updates into their shipping costs and schedules.
