BTT

Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-000806

A pricing and service model in ocean freight, short for Base Terminal to Terminal, where the carrier's responsibility covers the movement of cargo between the container yard at the port of origin and the container yard at the port of destination. This service excludes any pre-carriage from the shipper's premises or on-carriage to the consignee's final location. BTT shipping quotes therefore do not include costs such as inland trucking, customs clearance, or local handling charges at either end of the journey.
