How do I track a shipment with LCL freight shipping from the USA?

You can track your LCL shipment on the cargo consolidator's website used in your international shipping by either the booking number or the bill of lading number.

If it is direct shipping, you can also track the cargo delivery by the container number on your bill of lading with a steamship line used for your international shipping.

However, international LCL cargo transportation, unlike shipping a parcel or an entire container, sometimes requires manual tracking. That is because consolidated cargo, especially cargo shipping with transshipments, may need to be reloaded in different containers during transportation from the USA to the place of delivery.

However, after you receive your bill of lading, you should keep it in mind and wait until the estimated day of arrival (ETA). The carrier's destination agent should contact your consignee several days before the ETD with an arrival notice. Typically, they email the arrival notice to you in a PDF file.

However, if you did not receive an arrival notice several days before the ETD. In that case, you need to contact the carrier's destination agent assigned by the ocean freight carrier to recover your shipping from the U.S. goods at the destination. The agent's contact information is on your bill of lading.
