Tag: Less than Container Load

In the world of international shipping, businesses often face a critical choice when it comes to transporting smaller volumes of goods: how to move cargo efficiently without filling an entire container. That’s where Less than Container Load (LCL) shipping comes in. LCL allows multiple shippers to share space within a single container, making it a cost-effective and flexible option for those who don’t need a full container for their products. This shipping method has become increasingly popular among small to mid-sized businesses aiming to expand globally without the overhead of full container costs.

In this guide, we break down how LCL works, when it makes sense to use it, and what shippers should know to make the most of this shared-container solution.
