What is EBS fee? Why do we have to charge EBS fees?
What type of fee is EBS?
What is EBS fee? EBS is a type of surcharge collected on imported and exported goods. EBS stands for "Emergency Bunker Surcharge", meaning fuel surcharge for goods routes to Asia. For goods going to Europe, instead of charging EBS fee, they will charge ESD fee, which means ENS "Entry Summary Declaration".
EBS fee is a fee mentioned quite a lot in import and export activities. This fee is collected by shipping lines to compensate for lost costs due to fluctuations in the petroleum market. However, for many people, especially those who rarely participate in import-export activities, they often do not clearly understand what EBS fees are? Some people even think that this type of fee is included in ocean freight charges.
Fuel surcharge is an amount collected by shipping lines to compensate for lost costs due to fluctuations and fluctuations in the world petroleum market. If the gasoline market fluctuates a lot, this fee will also change a corresponding number of times. However, fuel surcharge is only a type of shipping surcharge, not a fee. It is also not included in the Local Charges of import and export activities.
Reasons to collect EBS fees in import-export activities
In the 1970s, when fuel prices skyrocketed with extremely large amplitudes, it created "oil price shocks". The sudden increase in oil prices greatly affects the transportation activities of shipping lines. Specifically, to maintain high-speed container ships to ensure fast transport operations, shipping lines have to pay huge fuel costs.
Meanwhile, gasoline prices "escalated" and increased suddenly, making it impossible for shipping companies, especially in the trade union, to adjust freight rates appropriately to cope. Therefore, shipping lines have to pay a much larger fee to maintain cargo transportation operations.
=> Faced with such reality, adjusting fuel surcharges flexibly is the most optimal way to help shipping lines offset costs. Therefore, fuel or gasoline surcharges have been collected for imported and exported goods during transportation.

How to calculate EBS surcharge?
After you have an answer about what EBS fee is, it is also really important to learn about how to calculate the EBS surcharge "Emergency Bunker Surcharge". Proship would like to share the calculation method as follows:
In fact, depending on each shipping company's regulations and the actual situation, this fee will change. Shipping lines can charge fuel surcharges as a percentage of the ocean freight or depending on the volume of goods. Many shipping lines also include fuel surcharges for each container.
Depending on how gasoline prices fluctuate, the EBS surcharge will change. When gasoline prices at intermediate ports decrease, surcharges during transportation will decrease. Therefore, please contact directly with the shipping company or transport unit of your choice for advice and quotes. Fuel surcharges will also somewhat affect freight costs.

Who will pay the EBS fuel surcharge?
There is an issue that many people are concerned about: who will pay the EBS surcharge? This question has many people asking and causing controversy today: will the EBS fee be paid by the shipper or by the consignee (consignee/buyer)?
In reality, the payment of EBS fees will be clearly specified in the import-export contract and foreign trade sales contract. If the contract does not clearly state who pays the EBS fee, the shipping company will stipulate this. There is a simple example for you to more easily visualize: in the sales contract between the two parties, the import condition is FOB. With this condition, the regulation is always that the buyer will have to pay the EBS fee.
* Example: Company X imports a shipment of children's toys from China, FOB price. Orders incur additional EBS fees. Company X and its supplier in China are arguing over who should pay this fee. Company X gave the reason that because this fee arose in China, the supplier had to pay it. The supplier gives the reason that they sell the FOB price and are not the buyer of freight. On the other hand, EBS is a fuel surcharge, so they do not have to pay this fee.
So in this case, which party has to pay this EBS surcharge? To solve the above situation, we need to clarify two issues: which country are the goods imported from and under what conditions? When making a sales contract, the parties should refer to the price of the fees incurred and make agreements and negotiate which party will have to bear these fees when they arise in the contract. To avoid situations like the above from happening, both sides shift responsibility to each other. In case the contract does not specifically state which party pays the EBS fee, where to collect the EBS fee is determined by the shipping company. Based on shipping company law to collect this fee.
=> In short, when completing a sales and import-export contract, the two parties need to pay attention to the general conditions and regulations to avoid unnecessary disputes in the future.
