Starting from February 1, 2025, major ports in Shenzhen, such as Shekou, Chiwan, Mawan, and Yantian International Container Terminal, will fully resume charging port facility security fees. This aims to further enhance the level of port security facilities and ensure the safe passage of import and export goods.

The basis for resuming the fees is the "Port Charge Billing Method." According to this method, the collection standard for port facility security fees is: 8 yuan for small containers (usually referring to 20-foot containers) and 12 yuan for large containers (usually referring to 40-foot containers). This fee standard has been determined after multiple adjustments, aiming to reasonably reflect the security costs of port enterprises.
