Air cargo storage at Shanghai Pudong (PVG) follows the universal handler formula — chargeable weight × daily rate after the free period, with a per-day minimum — but the local parameters are what decide your invoice. PVG is consistently among the world's top-three cargo airports, anchoring China's air export machine via PACTL and partner terminals.

About Shanghai Pudong (PVG) Air Cargo Storage Calculator

Local pattern worth knowing: E-commerce export surges periodically swamp the sheds — import retrieval slots tighten exactly when storage clocks are least forgiving. Charges driven by the handler's or airline's own delays are claimable; charges driven by your clearance speed are not. The timestamps in the handler's milestone log decide which story the invoice tells. With the preloaded PVG-realistic numbers, a 750 kg shipment collected on day 5 owes 3 chargeable days × ¥675 = ¥2,025. Swap in your handler's published rate and minimum — both are public — and the calculator reprices instantly.

Frequently asked questions

What would a 750 kg shipment held 5 days owe at PVG?+

With the defaults (2 free days, ¥0.9/kg/day, ¥90/day minimum): 3 chargeable days × ¥675 = ¥2,025. The per-kg figure governs because the shipment is heavy; light shipments usually hit the minimum instead.

Is PVG storage counted from flight arrival?+

No — from availability at the import shed. The flight can land Monday and the cargo become collectable Wednesday during a backlog; your free period starts Wednesday. Handlers' milestone systems record both times, and asking for that log is the first move in any PVG storage dispute.

Does customs inspection pause PVG storage charges?+

Days attributable to customs' own queue can be excluded, but seldom automatically — the shed bills the calendar and you claim back. Keep the customs status timestamps from your broker's system; the difference between inspection-ordered and inspection-completed dates is the claimable window.

Do part days count as full storage days?+

In nearly all handler tariffs, yes — any part of a day after the free period bills as a full day. Collection at 00:30 versus 23:30 on the same calendar day costs the same, which makes the cut-off time at your free period's expiry the single most valuable hour in the whole storage schedule.
