Port Storage Demurrage Tiers.

Calculate the exponential danger of failing to clear customs, triggering Tier 2 and Tier 3 compounding Demurrage storage fees at major ports like Los Angeles or Long Beach.

## The Port Extortion Racketeering

When a cargo ship offloads your physical steel container onto the pavement at the Port of Los Angeles, the clock starts. The Port Authority grants you exactly 4 'Free Days' to get a truck, clear customs, and physically remove your box.

### FAQ

**Q: Why does the bill get so high so fast?**
A: Ports are not self-storage units. They exist to move volume. To punish companies who use their asphalt as a warehouse, Demurrage fees are highly exponential. The first few days of penalty might be $150. But if customs flags your box and it gets stuck for 3 weeks, you trigger "Tier 3" pricing where you are bleeding an apocalyptic $450 per day, per box.
