Guam Department of
Agriculture Invasive Species Inspection Fee
We
have been informed by Matson Navigation Company (“Matson”) that the Guam
Department of Agriculture is requiring maritime transportation companies to
begin collection of an invasive species inspection fee beginning July 1,
2015. All fees collected will be deposited into the Invasive Species
Inspection Fee Fund. (See link below for Reference)
DOA Invasive Species Inspection Fee.pdf
The
fee established is for the service(s) of inspection, quarantine and eradication
of invasive species contained in marine commercial shipments, foreign or
domestic, and shall apply to all imported cargo to Guam. (See 14102. Fee Assessment for
Exemptions)
The following calculation demonstrates how the fee will be charged:
Total Gross Weight divided
by 1000.0LBS X $0.75=Total Amount: Invasive Species Inspection Fee (example:
Total: 38,000.LBS div 1000.0LBS X $0.75 = $28.50).
As
a result, this fee will appear as a separate charge on our freight bill. This
change will be effective with shipments arriving Guam on or after July 1, 2015.
Should you have any questions, please contact your
local office or call our Corporate Customer Service at 800-488-4888 or
