The minimum volume for LCL shipping is 1 or 2 CBM, depending on routes. If your cargo is less than minimum CBM (e.g., 0.5CBM).You can still ship it via LCL, but will be billed at the minimum volume (1 CBM)
Why Cargo Weight Need to be Calculated in LCL Pricing?
Some charges are calculated based on the cargo's volume-to-weight ratio, such as 1 CBM:1000 kg, 1 CBM:500 kg, 1 CBM:363 kg, 1 CBM:167 kg, or 1 CBM:800 lb. The specific conversion ratio varies by route. Most port-to-port ocean freight rates follow the 1 CBM:1000 kg rule, while routes involving inland transportation (by rail or truck) often use 1 CBM:363 kg or 1 CBM:800 lb.
Who Should Pay for Co-loader Charges or Destination Charges?
Co-loader charges or destination charges are typically determined by the Incoterms agreed upon between the shipper and consignee. Under EXW or FOB terms, the consignee is responsible for these charges. Under CIF, the situation can be more complex.
