Hong Kong International (HKG) Air Cargo Storage Calculator
Estimate import storage/demurrage at HKG: chargeable weight × per-kg daily rate after the free period, with handler minimums.
Free time at HKG runs from cargo availability, not flight arrival. Rates are per kg of chargeable weight per day — pull the exact figures from your handler's published import tariff.

Demurrage, detention and storage tariffs are set by each carrier, terminal and contract and change frequently. The preloaded figures are editable industry-typical examples, not quotes — always verify against the current published tariff or your service contract before paying or disputing an invoice.
Hong Kong International (HKG) is the world's busiest cargo airport, moving around five million tonnes a year through handlers like Hactl and AAT. Once an import shipment's free period lapses, the ground handler bills storage per kilogram of chargeable weight per day, subject to a daily minimum — a meter that scales with shipment size in a way ocean demurrage never does.
About Hong Kong International (HKG) Air Cargo Storage Calculator
Its terminals run nearly real-time milestone tracking, so the storage clock — and your evidence trail — is unusually well documented. Defaults here model a 800 kg shipment at HK$1.2/kg/day with a HK$230 daily minimum after 2 free days — realistic for HKG, editable for your handler's actual tariff. The audit always comes down to timestamps: flight arrival, cargo availability, and your collection. Free time runs from availability, the rate applies to chargeable (not gross) weight, and the minimum catches small shipments. Recompute the handler's invoice here before paying — milestone systems are good at HKG, which cuts both ways.

Frequently asked questions
What would a 800 kg shipment held 5 days owe at HKG?+
With the defaults (2 free days, HK$1.2/kg/day, HK$230/day minimum): 3 chargeable days × HK$960 = HK$2,880. The per-kg figure governs because the shipment is heavy; light shipments usually hit the minimum instead.
When does the storage clock start at HKG?+
From cargo availability — when the handler has broken down the ULD and notified that the shipment is ready for collection — not from the aircraft's landing. During busy periods those can differ by a day or more, and the difference belongs to the handler, not your free period. Audit the availability timestamp first on every storage invoice.
Which handler's tariff applies at HKG?+
The one your airline contracts — Hactl, AAT or Cathay's own terminal. Each publishes import storage terms (free period, per-kg rate, minimums) separately. Your arrival notice names the terminal; pull that tariff rather than a generic HKG figure, then enter its numbers here.
Is storage billed on gross or chargeable weight?+
Chargeable weight — the greater of gross and volumetric, exactly as the AWB freight line. A voluminous light shipment pays storage on its dimensional weight, which surprises shippers who watched the scale and not the tape measure. The same chargeable figure should appear on the AWB and the storage invoice; mismatches are disputable.
