LCL

LCL consolidates shipments from multiple customers into one container, making it an ideal option for businesses looking to optimize their logistics costs while enjoying the benefits of global shipping.

Understanding LCL
LCL shipping offers cost-effective and flexible solutions, particularly suitable for small to medium businesses. It enables the shipment of smaller goods quantities without needing a full container, enhancing supply chain efficiency and cutting down storage costs.
This method is ideal for businesses with fluctuating demand, allowing them to engage in international shipping without committing to large volumes.
LCL Calculation Method in Europe (Weight Measurement)
- Volumetric Weight: Calculated by multiplying the cargo's dimensions (length x width x height in centimeters) and dividing by a standard cubic conversion factor.
- Actual Weight: The physical weight of the cargo measured in kilograms.
The chargeable weight for LCL shipments is the higher of these two calculations. This method ensures a fair pricing structure for both densely packed, heavy cargo and lighter, more voluminous shipments.
