In which situations do I choose an LCL container?

The meaning of LCL is: you share the container with other importers. There are many benefits like: it’s perfect for shipping small loads, you spend less on inventory space and more options during peak shipping season. Watch out: if your goods can fill up half of the container space, then it is usually more interesting to opt for FCL. The total shipping costs are related to the actual volume that the shipment occupies in a shared shipping container.
- LCL means that your shipment is taking up only a part of a partial container.
- Ideal for transport volumes between 3 m3 and 13,5 m3.
