What does Direct port entry (DPE) mean in logistics?
Short answer
An export facility that allows factory-stuffed, self-sealed containers to move directly into the port terminal for loading, without being routed through a container freight station.
Used by exporters with self-sealing permission; containers carry an RFID e-seal that customs reads at the gate. It saves CFS charges and a day or more of handling. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
