1、The abbreviation os consolidate is consol in international trade and transportation.

2、LCL is generally not acceptable to a specific shipping company. The shipping company only accepts the booking of the whole cargo but not the booking of LCL directly. Only after the LCL is consolidated by the shipping agent (individual strong shipping company through its logistics company), can the shipping company book the space, Almost all of the LCL are through freight forwarding company centralized entrusted, centralized distribution to achieve transport, east China's LCL port is basically Shanghai port. Because of the limitation of the source of goods, the shipping agent can only concentrate on booking cabins to several shipping companies, and can hardly meet the demand of the designated shipping companies. Therefore, when dealing with the cargo, we should not accept the designated shipping companies as far as possible, in order to avoid being unable to meet the requirements when handling the consignment.

3、When negotiating with customers, should pay special attention to the relevant shipping terms, so as to avoid the other party's letter of credit opened in the handling of shipment found unable to meet the shipping terms.In our daily operation, we often encounter l/C rule that LCL shipping does not accept the bill of lading of freight forwarder, because the shipping company does not directly accept LCL booking. The shipping bill of lading of the shipping company is issued to the freight forwarder, and the freight forwarder issues houseb/l to the consignor. If the l/C does not accept the freight forwarder B/l, then there is no choice for the actual transportation, which will cause the l/C discrepancy.

4、The charging ton of the LCL makes every effort to be accurate.Before LCL delivery, the factory should be required to measure the weight and size of the goods as accurately as possible. When the goods are delivered to the warehouse designated by the forwarder for storage, the warehouse will generally remeasure the goods and charge for the remeasured size and weight.If the factory changes the packing, should request the factory to inform in time, do not wait for the delivery of the goods to the freight forwarding warehouse, through the freight forwarding will feedback information back, often time is already very tight, and then change the customs documents, it is easy to delay the customs declaration, or produce urgent customs declaration and chonggang charges.

5、有In some ports, because of insufficient cargo and high cost, the freight forwarding company that specializes in LCL has adopted a minimum charge standard for goods with less cargo volume. For example, the minimum charge is 2 freight tons, that is, less than 2 freight tons, and all charges are charged at 2 freight tons.Therefore, the volume of smaller, more partial port goods in the transaction should take into account some of these factors, so as not to be passive in the future.

6、For some routes and ports are more remote, and customers want to deliver to the inland point of the LCL cargo, the contract before the best consultation, confirmed that shipping companies and freight forwarding companies can undertake these remote ports, inland point of delivery and related costs before signing.
