We not only help clients consolidate goods into one container, but also assist them with traditional LCL shipping.
For LCL, we accept min 1 CBM for shipping. This is ideal for small-volume shipments. We consolidate your goods with other cargo, sharing costs and saving you money while ensuring reliability. That also means you might receive your goods longer than FCL, because the container that you share with others will arrive at the warehouse in Germany first, and then sort out the right shipment for you to deliver.
Our team will handle the necessary documents and customs procedures in both China and Germany, avoiding delays caused by document errors or omissions.
