Understand LCL, FCL and door-delivery scope

FCL is calculated by container type and route; LCL by volume or revenue ton plus origin and destination handling. Ocean freight, port charges, customs, taxes and delivery must be confirmed separately.

01

Full container load (FCL)

For cargo near container volume, requiring dedicated loading or unsuitable for consolidation. Confirm origin, destination, container type, loading method and cargo requirements before booking.

  • Compare 20GP, 40GP, 40HQ and other equipment by cargo volume and loading needs
  • Load at the factory or consolidate several suppliers before container loading
  • Confirm ocean freight, origin, destination, customs and delivery scope before booking

Ocean freight from China: FAQs

Confirm cargo volume, origin and destination ports, cost scope and import responsibility instead of comparing the ocean line-haul rate alone.

Compare FCL when cargo is near container volume, needs dedicated loading or cannot be mixed. Smaller shipments usually start with LCL. Final cost depends on volume, weight, loading conditions, handling charges and delivery address.
