When we import goods trough shipping aftre the goods reach the destiny, if we didn take take immediate delivery of goods, the shipping authorities will store the goods in their warehouses till we take the delivery.
So for storing the goods , the charges collected by shipping authorities is called DEMURRAGE CHARGES

HI THERE IS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DEMURRAGE & DETENTION CHARGES,WHAT YOU ARE TELLING HERE IS RELATED WITH DETENTION CHARGES. DEMURRAGE CHARGES IS RELATED WITH DAMAGE OF GOODS OR DAMAGE OF CONTAINER .IF THERE IS DAMAGE OF GOODS PARTY MAY CLAIM CHARGES OR IN CASE OF DAMAGE OF CONTAINER SHIPPING LINE WILL LEVY THIS CHARGES. |

Demurrage charges are those which are charged by the customs ware house stations when the goods are stored and not cleared within the specified time i.e., these are the charges for excess period of storage of goods
