In which situations do I choose an LCL container?

If your cargo does not fill a whole ocean freight container, inquire about the possibilities for a shared container. This is known as LCL (Less Than Container Load).

Pay attention: if you can fill more than half of a container, then FCL is a better choice. The total shipping costs are related to number of pieces, weight, volume, packaging.

LCL means that your cargo will be placed into a partial container.
