LCL — consolidated cargo from China
If your cargo does not fill a whole container, LCL is the better choice: you pay only for the volume you actually occupy. Rates are <strong>$150–180 per cubic metre</strong>, minimum 1 m³.
Who LCL suits
Small and medium businesses importing regularly in small batches — shops, online stores, workshops, renovation companies. Also when you are trying a new supplier and do not want to commit to a large volume.
How the price is calculated
LCL is priced per cubic metre, typically $150–180 per m³ — the exact rate depends on the type and volume of the cargo. The minimum is 1 m³. We weigh and measure the cargo as soon as it arrives at the warehouse and record the exact volume in the system, where you can see it. The invoice is based on precisely that figure.
Packing
Because LCL cargo travels alongside other consignments, solid packing matters more. If goods arrive poorly packed we will repack them at the warehouse and let you know beforehand.

How do I know the exact volume of my cargo? +
We measure and weigh it on arrival at the warehouse. The figures appear in the system immediately and the invoice is built on the same numbers.
