How is LCL freight calculated?
LCL is usually charged by the greater of volume (CBM) or weight (often 1 CBM = 1000 kg). A minimum (e.g. 1 CBM) often applies. Total cost = ocean freight + origin charges (booking, customs, trucking, warehouse) + destination charges (THC, documentation, delivery). This tool shows reference ocean freight only. Ask us for a full quote with your commodity, volume/weight and ready date.
FAQ
How long are these rates valid?
Ocean rates change often. Figures on this site are reference only; the binding price is confirmed at booking. Lock space early when you have a firm shipment plan.
What is the difference between LCL and FCL?
LCL (Less than Container Load) means your cargo shares a container with other shippers — ideal for smaller volumes. FCL is a full container for one shipper and is usually more economical above roughly 15 CBM.
Do the rates include destination charges?
No. Displayed amounts are reference ocean freight. Destination THC, documentation, customs clearance and delivery are extra. Some ports allow freight collect.
What should I know when shipping to the USA?
Wood packaging must be ISPM-15 treated and stamped. AMS filing is required. Overweight or oversized pieces may incur extra transfer charges.
How do I get an accurate door-to-door quote?
Send commodity, volume/weight, destination port or address, and preferred sailing date. We will provide a full quote and handling plan.
