1:When the goods are less than one container, LCL can be considered. LCL is a container with multiple customers'goods and different consignees.
2:LCL port of destination must confirm the cost in advance and show it on the bill of lading, because the consignee will go abroad to replace the bill of lading after receiving the bill of lading. The cost of replacement is as much as that shown on the bill of lading, which is quite clear.
3:The majority of LCL should be cfs-cfs, that is, warehouse to warehouse, domestic delivery to freight forwarder warehouse, and foreign consignees
to the warehouse under customs supervision to pick up the goods. Some countries are slightly different, like Turkey. The whole container is CY-CY, which means yard to yard.
4:In addition, LCL shipping companies are arbitrary, because LCL changes a lot, it is necessary to inform the booking of several positions, and the designated shipping company is not accepted, and the freight forwarder's bill of lading is issued by LCL, so neither the consignor nor the consignee need to have a direct relationship with the shipping company, so it is useless even if the shipping company is required.
5:When looking for the service of combining containers, the goods in the box should be added properly, and the weight should be controlled when booking space. Any change should be informed in advance. Especially for the LCL of dangerous goods, once the space is ordered, the gross weight of the pieces is not easy to change.
6:Many L / C documents, we must pay attention to the requirements of L / C, whether the third party B / L is acceptable, if not introduced, then you can only take the whole container, not LCL, because LCL only has forwarder's bill of lading, there is no shipping company's bill of lading. Pay attention to packing requirements to avoid damage.
LCL data:
1:Power of attorney (no fixed format)
2:Customs declaration information (declaration form, declaration power of attorney, packing list, invoice, declaration elements)
3:If you don't have the right to import and export, you can consider paying for export.
4:If chemical products need to provide English version of MSDs, a total of 16 items.
5:Some shipping companies also need to provide the Shanghai Institute of chemical industry appraisal, need to see specifically.
