Global container carrier Hapag-Lloyd has announced a General Rate Increase (GRI) / General Rate Adjustment (GRA) for cargo moving from the Indian Subcontinent and Pakistan to the United States and Canada, effective 1 August 2026.
The increase will apply to all cargo transported in 20-foot and 40-foot dry, reefer, and special containers, including high cube equipment.
Under the revised tariff, Hapag-Lloyd will implement a US$1,000 per container rate increase for shipments destined for all U.S. and Canadian coasts.
The carrier said the adjustment will apply to all containers gated in full on or after 1 August 2026 and will remain in effect until further notice.
The latest GRI reflects ongoing pricing adjustments in the trans-Pacific trade and is expected to impact exporters across the Indian Subcontinent and Pakistan shipping cargo to North American markets.
