lcl china refers to less than container load (LCL) shipping from China, which is ideal for businesses with smaller shipments that do not require a full container. LCL shipping allows businesses to share container space with other shippers, reducing costs compared to full container load (FCL) shipping. However, LCL shipments may take longer to reach their destination, as they need to be consolidated and de-consolidated at various ports. Despite the longer transit time, LCL shipping remains a cost-effective option for businesses looking to ship smaller quantities of goods from China.
