Thesecharges are $173.27 per TEU.Land–based charges per TEUAverage customs brokers’ fees and road transport charges for January–June 2007 andJuly– December 2007 are included in Tables 3.4 and 3.5. These charges are based ondata provided by some 30 customs brokers and 30 road transport operators.Customs brokers’ fees for imports are higher than fees for exports, reflecting the morecomplex clearance procedures for import containers. During January–June 2007 theaverage customs brokers fee for imports increased by 26 per cent for Brisbane, 2 percent for Adelaide and 12 per cent for Fremantle. It remained the same for Sydney anddecreased by one per cent for Melbourne. For exports the average fee decreased by14 per cent Brisbane. It remained the same for Sydney and increased by 12 per centfor Melbourne, 35 per cent for Adelaide and by 9 per cent for Fremantle.Road transport charges decreased by 5 per cent at Brisbane and Adelaide and by10 per cent for Melbourne. They increased by 14 per cent at Sydney and 6 per centat Fremantle. One of the parameters used to estimate road transport charges is thetime taken to move containers between the wharf and the customer’s warehouse.Both distance and traffic congestion impact on this parameter and, therefore, helpexplain the significant difference between road transport charges at Melbourne andSydney compared with Brisbane, Adelaide and Fremantle.Indices for individual portsTable 3.4 indicates that for ships in the 15 000 to 20 000 GT range, between January–June 2007 and July–December 2007, costs per TEU for import containers increasedby one per cent at Brisbane, 10 per cent at Sydney and 6 percent at Fremantle. Theydecreased by 5 per cent at Melbourne one per cent at Adelaide. For exports theydecreased by 6 per cent for Brisbane and 3 per cent for Melbourne. They increasedby 8 per cent for Sydney, 4 per cent at Adelaide and 5 per cent for Fremantle.Table 3.5 indicates that for ships in the 35 000 to 40 000 GT range, between January–June 2007 and July–December 2007 costs for import containers increased by one per29
