LCL FREIGHT

LCL FREIGHT

LCL is a term used in sea freight to describe loads that are “less than a container load,” or a shipment that does not fill an entire container.

In an LCL shipment different cargoes share a container and the importer only pays for the space they use. The big advantage is that SME’s can enjoy lowMcost shipping rates without having to purchase higher volumes.

LCL Shipping Costs

Most people assume that being charged proMrata is more expensive than full container shipping – but not necessarily so.

LCL costing is simple, transparent and calculated using volumetric weight. The more space you use, or weight equivalent, the more you pay.

Some important factors to remember when considering your LCL shipment
  1. Terms of Carriage
    1. Have you agreed ex works collection whereby the buyer arranges collection from the seller’s factory door
    2. Free On Board origin port (FOB) – the buyer is only responsible for the sea freight charges
  2. Your cargo will be packed with other consignments and the packaging must be adequate to allow for additional handling.
  3. LCL transit times are typically 4 days longer than the full container load equivalent. This is to allow time for the inbound container to be unloaded.
  4. Insurance; not only important for LCL shipments, but all type of goods in transit movement.
