China Airlines LAX doesn’t have a cooler or freezer and starts charging storage charges the day after arrival.
Korean Airlines LAX starts charging cooler fee after the 4th hour of arrival.
In addition to many airlines raising their Import Service fees and giving less free time a lot of them are also raising their storage fees significant with Qantas LAX being the highest at so far at $1/ kilo after the first day of arrival.
We encourage importers and trucking companies to track their import shipments https://www.utopiax.org/aircargotracking.html or https://www.track-trace.com/aircargo and recover from the airline on day of arrival or next day to avoid storage fees.
