  "term": "Pre-pull",
  "field": "Logistics and supply chain",
  "definition": "The practice of retrieving an import container from a port or rail yard before its scheduled vessel or train arrival, or before the consignee is ready to receive it. This allows the container to be stored off-site at a trucking yard or warehouse, avoiding demurrage charges at the port. It is often used to manage port congestion or tight delivery schedules.",
