Some daily fees have a short grace period, but never enough.
Some fees didn't exist when the Ship left, but did before it arrived.
Sounds like a lot of hassle, which is probably why there are a lot of customs brokers in the produce industry. You can't really have a container of produce sit at the port for very long.
