thank you all very much! This option was most suitable for my context.
Explanation: Well, this sounds like "shipping and receiving" without the receiving part. But Wendy's suggestion about only being in ports paints me a picture of those shipping containers that are lifted onto the cargo ships.
The link says:
"The Shipping Department coordinates the identification of the products that are ready to ship. This department also arranges the features of the shipment to meet the customer’s requirements, such as packing, the carrier according to the delivery time and the quality check of the entire shipment process. The Shipping Department knows the best way to get your shipment from A to B. Logistics Software to manage the process."
An Wilhelm Noll und der „Blauen Lagune“ kommt am CTB kein Lastwagenfahrer vorbei. Die „Blaue Lagune“ – ein blauer Bürocontainerkomplex – beherbergt die Hebestelle und Wilhelm Noll steht ihr vor. Das etwas verstaubt anmutende Wort kommt aus der Historie. In der Hebestelle wurden früher ladungsbezogenen Entgelte von den Kunden eingenommen. http://www.hhla.de/82.1535.0.html

“weighing charges” erinnert mich an Wiegegebühren.
as to carry the produce (P) when it passes into the weighing station (2) and in that the geared motor is supported by the produce weighing device (5).
daß sie das Produkt (P) während des Wiegens desselben in der Wiegestelle trägt, und daß die Motor-Getriebekombination von der Wiegevorrichtung (5) für das Produkt abgestützt wird. http://www.patsnap.com/patents/view/EP0283388B1.html
(1) Zur Beschleunigung des Grenzübertritts sollten die Vertragsparteien im Einklang mit den einschlägigen innerstaatlichen und internationalen Rechts- und Verwaltungsvorschriften bestrebt sein, wiederholte Fahrzeugwiegeverfahren an Grenzübergängen zu vermeiden, indem die in Anhang 2 dieser Anlage enthaltene Internationale Fahrzeuggewichtsbescheinigung akzeptiert und gegenseitig anerkannt wird.
1. In order to accelerate border crossings, the Contracting Parties, in line with relevant national and international laws and regulations, should endeavour to avoid repetitive vehicle weighing procedures at border crossings by accepting and mutually recognising the International Vehicle Weight Certificate as contained in Appendix 2 to this Annex.
:
(2) Jede Vertragspartei, die die Internationale Fahrzeuggewichtsbescheinigung akzeptiert, veröffentlicht ein Verzeichnis aller in ihrem Land nach internationalen Grundsätzen zugelassenen Wiegestationen sowie jede diesbezügliche Änderung.
2. Each Contracting Party, accepting the International Vehicle Weight Certificate, shall publish a list of all weighing stations in their country authorised in accordance with international principles as well as any modification thereto. http://eur-lex.europa.eu/Notice.do?mode=dbl&lang=de&lng1=de,...
(Used in 4 European Directiives acc. Eur-Lex)
Also called "weight station", as pointed out by Kim, at least in USA.
A weigh station is a checkpoint along a highway to inspect vehicular weights. Usually, trucks and commercial vehicles are subject to the inspection.
Weigh stations are equipped with truck scales, some of which are Weigh in motion and permit the trucks to continue moving while being weighed, while older scales require the trucks to stop. There are a variety of scales employed from single axle scales to multi-axle sets. Signal lights indicate if the driver should pull over for additional inspection or if they are allowed to return to the highway. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weigh_station
Eur-Lex has only one occurrence for "weigh station" used in the WRITTEN QUESTION E-2208/02 by the German native Christoph Konrad (PPE-DE) to the Commissio (and translated into English subsequently):
2. Bei Feststellung von Übergewicht werden die Busunternehmen durch die österreichische Polizei an einen bestimmten Subunternehmer verwiesen, dessen Sitz sich (als einziger) direkt auf dem Areal der Verwiegestation der Behörden befindet.
2. Should excess weight be determined, the Austrian police direct the coach companies involved to a specific subcontractor which (alone) has an office actually on the site of the authorities' weigh station.
Conclusion: "weigh station" cannot be regarded as approved European Term, but may be used outside of Europe.
Nevertheless, both terms are equal. As the translator lives in the states, the translation may be targeted to USA. In this case, I would use the variation "weigh station".
weigh station has more Google hits than weighing station, but includes hits like this:
Regardless of your circumstances, The Weigh Station can help you. Maybe you have tried other diets or weight loss programs and failed, or maybe this is your first time considering a serious commitment to weight loss. http://weighstation.net/
On the other hand, weighing station delivers some explanations:
Most states collect taxes based on the weight of transported goods. Truck weigh stations are used for these tax purposes as well as to monitor the weight of a truck to ensure that it falls within the safety guidelines that each state has in place for its road system. http://science.howstuffworks.com/engineering/civil/question6...
What do Weighing Station Operators do?:
Document quantity, quality, type, weight, test result data, and value of materials or products, in order to maintain shipping, receiving, and production records and files.
Count or estimate quantities of materials, parts, or products received or shipped.
Collect or prepare measurement, weight, or identification labels; and attach them to products.
Weigh or measure materials, equipment, or products to maintain relevant records, using volume meters, scales, rules, and/or calipers.
Compare product labels, tags, or tickets, shipping manifests, purchase orders, and bills of lading to verify accuracy of shipment contents, quality specifications, and/or weights.
Examine products or materials, parts, subassemblies, and packaging for damage, defects, or shortages, using specification sheets, gauges, and standards charts.
Collect product samples and prepare them for laboratory analysis or testing.
Communicate with customers and vendors to exchange information regarding products, materials, and services.

A weighing station is an area along the road wherein vehicular weights are inspected. Weigh stations consist of weighing scales, and permit the vehicles to continue moving while being weighed. All jurisdictions employ the use of portable scales, allowing weigh stations to be set up at any point. Portable scales are set up at purpose built locations that are not normally manned. A common reason for setting up portable scales is to monitor trucks during harvest season. Weighing stations were created to collect road use taxes.
Weighing stations are regulated by individual state governments and therefore the requirements differ from state to state. Many states are now using electronic bypass systems to reduce some of the truck traffic through the weigh station. Weigh stations are also known as Pre pass or Nor pass. Many states under a federal requirement also check freight paperwork, vehicle paperwork, and logbooks to ensure that fuel taxes have been paid and that truck drivers are obeying the hours of service . http://definitions.uslegal.com/w/weighing-station/
