Terminal handling charges (THC) are effectively charges collected by shipping lines to recover from the shippers the cost of paying the container terminals for the loading or unloading of the containers and other related costs borne by the shipping lines at the port of shipment or destination. For containers shipped on an FOB (Free-On-Board) terms, which specifies which party (buyer or seller) pays for which shipment and loading costs, and/or where responsibility for the goods is transferred. The shippers at the origin port of shipment are responsible for paying the THC at the port of loading. This is defined as the Origin THC. The consignees, or buyers of the cargo are responsible for paying the freight rate and the THC (or equivalent) on the discharge port of destination, known as the destination THC.
