In general, when shipping LCL, the classification and sorting of goods are carried out in the carrier terminal container freight station or inland container transfer station. Under normal circumstances, there are two ways of LCL, respectively, direct or reverse, direct means that the goods inside the LCL are loaded and unloaded in the same place, and the goods are not unpacked before arriving at the destination, that is, the goods are in the same place.
About Sea LCL:
Direct loading means that the goods in the LCL are loaded and unloaded in the same place, and the boxes are not unpacked before the goods arrive at the destination, that is, the goods are the same unloading place. This kind of LCL service is short, convenient and fast, and generally strong LCL companies will provide only such services. Transshipment means that the goods in the container are not the same destination and need to be unloaded or transshipped in the middle of the container. Such goods due to different destinations, long time to ship and other factors, so the shipment time is longer, and even high freight.
What do you know about LCL by sea?
Only through the freight forwarder to assemble the LCL can be booked from the shipping company. Almost all LCL cargoes are shipped through freight forwarding companies. Therefore, LCL cargo generally can not specify a specific shipping company. For the transportation of LCL cargo by sea, special attention should be paid to the mode of transportation and the method of payment, which are very important for transportation. The charge of LCL cargo is calculated according to the volume and weight of the goods. Before delivery, the factory is required to be as accurate as possible on the size and weight of the goods. When the goods are sent to the warehouse, the warehouse will also measure again and use the new data as the charging standard.
For some relatively remote places, if the customer wants to deliver the LCL goods to the inland point, it is best to consult before signing the contract, confirm that there are shipping companies and freight forwarding companies can undertake the delivery of these remote ports, inland points and related costs before signing the contract, which will avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble. For goods involving intellectual property rights, the "Intellectual Property Declaration Form" should be filled in advance, whether there is a brand, whether it is a trademark registered by the company or the factory, or the customer's license should be prepared in advance of the relevant registered trademark information or the customer's authorization letter.
