Less Than Container Load refers to a shipment that does not occupy an entire container and is combined with other shipments in a single container.
How It Works:
- The exporter books space for smaller cargo.
- Multiple shipments are consolidated into one container.
- Goods are transported together.
- At destination, shipments are separated and delivered.
Benefits:
- Cost effective for small shipments
- No need to book a full container
- Flexible shipping option
- Suitable for low volume trade
Example:
A small exporter ships goods in a shared container along with cargo from other businesses.
