Incheon International (ICN) Air Cargo Storage Calculator
Estimate import storage/demurrage at ICN: chargeable weight × per-kg daily rate after the free period, with handler minimums.
Free time at ICN 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.
Every hour an import sits in a ICN shed past its free period costs money, and at Incheon International — Northeast Asia's transshipment super-hub, where a large share of cargo connects between flights rather than entering Korea — shed space is priced like the scarce commodity it is. This calculator turns the handler's tariff into a number before the invoice does.
About Incheon International (ICN) Air Cargo Storage Calculator
Enter chargeable weight, days since availability, the free period and the handler's per-kg/day rate; the per-day minimum applies automatically. Transit cargo on a single AWB normally rides free across the connection — storage bills start when cargo breaks its through-routing. Strategy beats arithmetic here: pre-file customs entries before the flight lands, book collection for availability day, and treat the free period as deadline rather than buffer. The tariff is engineered so that using an airport shed as a warehouse is the most expensive storage decision available in the city.

Frequently asked questions
What would a 900 kg shipment held 5 days owe at ICN?+
With the defaults (2 free days, ₩55/kg/day, ₩25,000/day minimum): 3 chargeable days × ₩49,500 = ₩1,48,500. The per-kg figure governs because the shipment is heavy; light shipments usually hit the minimum instead.
When does the storage clock start at ICN?+
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.
Does transshipment cargo pay storage at ICN?+
Not while it connects under one through AWB within the allowed window — the hub model depends on it. Charges start when cargo dwells beyond the transfer window or is re-documented locally. If a connection was missed by the airline, the resulting dwell is theirs to absorb; claim with the flight records.
Can I reduce airport storage by clearing customs in advance?+
It's the single biggest lever. Pre-arrival filing (where the customs regime allows it) means the release exists before the cargo does, so collection can happen inside the free period. Most storage charges aren't caused by the tariff — they're caused by clearance starting only after the cargo became available.
