Import LCL Process?

Export LCL

LCL shipping, or "Less than Container Load" shipping, is when exporters share container space because their shipments are too small to fill an entire container. It is a cost-effective solution for exporters with smaller shipments. This works well for everyone the shipping company covers container costs, and exporters save on transportation costs.

LCL shipping is not only a cost-effective option but also an environmentally friendly and sustainable way to ship goods. LCL shipping is also known as "groupage shipping" because it groups smaller packages into one container.

Process of Export LCL

Once you opt for an LCL shipment you opt for a door to door service, the procedure is quite simple and effective. Here is a step by step guide to get your goods shipped to your customers through LCL shipping.

Select a reputable shipping company that meets your needs and budget.

Share information about your package (size, weight, origin, destination) with the shipping company. The company will use this information to group your shipment with others and assign it to a suitable vessel for transport.

Your package is sent to the shipping company’s warehouse, it’s combined with other smaller shipments going the same way. These packages are packed into a shipping container the process is often known as 'Container Stuffing'. The container is then loaded onto a ship, which transports the goods to their destination.

Once the ship reaches its destination, the container is unloaded, your package is separated, and delivered to your customer.

Costs / Charges included in LCL shipment

The shipping process has several stages, each adding to the overall cost of LCL shipping. Surprisingly, the actual transportation of cargo is cheaper than the expenses for group and ungroup packages at warehouses, This is because these processes requires a lot of manpower and resources.

LCL shipping costs are usually calculated based on the package's size (length × width × height) and are measured in USD per CBM (cubic meter). However, if the package weighs more than 1,000 kilograms (1 ton), charges are based on its weight instead. This rarely happens with LCL shipments, as this shipping method is mostly used for smaller loads.
