LABUAN: Asian Supply Base Sdn Bhd (ASB) has notified its users and clients that it will be implementing a new gate fee, with effect from Jan 1, 2021.
As this fee is a third party charge and can be substantial when accumulated, the Labuan Freight Forwarders Association (LFFA) has also notified all clients in the logistics industry that there will be additional charges invoiced involving transportation charges for entries into ASB locations, including Main Gate 1, Gate 2, New Yard, Yard 45, Yard 36, Warehouse 3 and Warehouse 7.
LFFA President Prunella Phoong said the fee included all deliveries of imported consignments or collection of export consignments from clients located within ASB locations as noted in the circular charges.
