FCL exports from ICDs or coastal ports give the shipper a dedicated container. LCL consolidates multiple exporters’ lots — useful for SME shipments that do not justify a full box.
Cost is not only ocean freight: inland pickup, terminal handling, customs, documentation and destination charges all affect the landed decision. ExpressWay quotes both modes from the same desk.
