First of all, its necessary to explain what is the LCL consolidation sea shipping to Singapore, LCL is acronym of Less than a container loading. it means that the goods volume is inadequate to stuff at least 20 feet container, 20GP container can loading 28 cbm 40GP container can load 58 cbm, 40HC container can loading 68 cbm. so sometime customers only have few cbm cargo, use a container is waste container space and pay high cost for the transportation. so consolidate many customer’s goods into a container loading is so called LCL consolidation shipping.
keep constantly shipping LCL consolidation container everyday is not easy, it more rely on customers’ support and long run reputation accumulating to win trust from Singapore clients. in China to Singapore logistics still has CIF FOB LCL consolidation shipping service, these trap gradually take off from LCL consolidation market. The most cost and timing effective way to Singapore by DDU service is becoming more and more popular. China to Singapore by door to door LCL shipping service normally about 12 days lead time. help many customer save storage and freight cost, and boost its business cycle time.
The old way to ship LCL cargo from China to Singapore through CIF and FOB can helps exporter do sole customs work in China. all the goods send to dock warehouse to do export customs independently. and charge lesser shipping fee, at converse, they will charge too much cost when goods reach to destination ports. import side collected the unreasonable cost payback to export side as a subsidy. not only China send CIF FOB LCL consolidation shipping like this, many countries and region all do LCL consolidation freight by CIF and FOB like this way. and CIF FOB shipping cost are much higher than DDU method
