Examples:

The shipping container is stuck in Customs. Every day it is delayed, the shipping company charges us money. We are really racking up a lot of demmurage charges.

Don’t pay the invoices late. When an invoice is late, our vendors charge us fees. If we are late, we will rack up the penalties.
