Cargowise - EDI Automation Fee

Wisetech, owners of Logistics software Cargowise, have effective 1st December released a new pricing structure for the use of their software. This new pricing structure allocates costs per job for all import/export and customs brokerage activity. This is different to how industry has handled these charges in the past.

Unfortunately, this results in increased prices per shipment/customs job that Hobbs Global are unable to absorb. Historically, we have passed these costs onto our customers per shipment/customs job in the form of an EDI Fee.

From 1st January 2026, these costs will be updated at cost to reflect the new pricing Wisetech have put in place.

For transparency, a full list of new pricing, labelled as ‘EDI Automation Fee’ can be found at: www.cargowise.com/lp/cargowise-value-pack/cargowise-value-pack-community-pricing/.

Please note – all charges are presented in USD.
