But what exactly is LCL freight?

LCL stands for Less-than-Container-Load, a sea freight service explicitly designed for shipping goods in boxes and crates stacked on pallets.

LCL freight is perfectly suited for international shipping of commercial cargo, e-commerce, sending overseas personal belongings, or moving household goods from the U.S. to European Union. You don’t need an entire shipping container to take advantage of international freight services—LCL makes it affordable by sharing container space.

Why do I choose LCL freight when shipping goods from the USA to European Union?

When your shipment is too large for regular parcel service but too small to fill a whole 40-foot container, LCL sea freight offers a perfect middle ground. If you can securely pack your goods in boxes or crates, LCL will likely be much more economical than air freight, parcel services, or renting an entire container (FCL).

Beyond the price, LCL offers some other significant advantages:

• Convenience: You can drop off your goods at a freight terminal (CFS) or schedule a pickup from your business or residence. Many CFS terminals even offer professional palletizing services for shipments headed from the U.S. to European Union.
• Flexibility: When delivering cargo to a CFS, you can bring your goods on any CFS's working day. No appointment is necessary. That means you’re in control of your shipping timeline.
• Simple Cost Structure: In LCL shipping, the price is determined by the volume of your cargo, not its weight. This makes it easier to budget and plan your international shipment or move.
