Description

An LCL (Less than Container Load) container is used for shipping small shipments that don’t fill an entire container. It allows businesses to share container space with other shippers, making it cost-effective for smaller loads. Key points:

Cost-Effective: Share container costs with other shipments.

Consolidation: Freight forwarders combine multiple shipments into one container.

Handling and Transit: Can be more complex with potentially longer transit times.

Flexibility: Ideal for businesses with smaller, frequent shipments.

Documentation: Requires detailed documentation and logistics management.
