Definition

ORIGINPERWM, abbreviated as O, represents a specific type of logistics fee that is assessed based on weight or volume measurements at the point of origin. This fee is typically levied by shipping lines or logistics service providers when goods are consolidated and prepared for international shipment. The primary rationale for this charge is to account for the handling, processing, and initial transport logistics required to move goods from the origin point to the port of departure.

The responsibility for paying the ORIGINPERWM fee generally falls on the shipper, who is the party initiating the shipment. The shipping line or logistics provider collects this fee, ensuring that the logistics processes at the point of origin are adequately covered. This charge is particularly relevant in scenarios where goods need to be moved from a warehouse or production facility to a consolidation point or directly to the port, involving several logistical stages that require meticulous handling and coordination.

The calculation of ORIGINPERWM is based on either the gross weight of the cargo or its volumetric measure, depending on which is greater. This ensures a fair assessment by taking into account the space occupied and the effort required to handle the cargo. It is distinct from destination charges, which cover the logistics processes at the receiving end, and is separate from freight charges that account for the main transport leg.

In practical applications, shippers should be mindful of the dimensions and weight of their cargo, as these will directly impact the ORIGINPERWM fee. It is advisable to collaborate closely with logistics partners to accurately estimate this cost early in the shipping process, thereby avoiding unexpected expenses and ensuring a smooth logistical operation from the outset.
