LCL (Less-Than-Container Load)

LCL (Less-Than-Container Load) is the goods that will be loaded into a shared container and shipped either as pallets or loose cartons. This mode is normally shared containers with other customers which are charged by cbm(cubic meter) or m3 (meter cube). When the seller or buyer’s goods are too small to fill the entire container. Instead of their goods being loaded into their container, they will use a shared container with others to reduce the cost. However, LCL takes more time to deliver than FCL shipment and increases the risk of damage, misplacement, and loss.
