The ‘Clean Trucks Tariff’ will be implemented by the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. All Marine Terminal Operators will have to collect a Clean Trucks Fee on containers that move through the terminals. The fee will then be used to assist the ports in paying for emission reduction programs to ultimately reduce air pollution from operations at the ports.

For FCL the fee will be applied to all containers with bills of lading showing port of loading or port of discharge as CY Los Angeles or Long Beach. The fee will also be applicable to all local door moves via either port for both import and export. For LCL, it will be applied on all cargo with bills of lading showing place of receipt or place of delivery as CFS Los Angeles or Long Beach.

Clean Truck Fees Effective Nov. 17, 2008:

U.S. Imports LCL $2.00 w/m

U.S. Imports FCL $35.00/TEU

U.S. Exports LCL $3.00 w/m

U.S. Exports FCL $35.00/TEU
