DG LCL to Chile: what the numbers mean

LCL bills on the greater of actual volume and the 2 CBM minimum, so a 1.2 CBM shipment still pays for 2 CBM. Valparaiso/San Antonio takes a Saturday direct sailing at 35 days; the other seven ports relay through San Antonio, and San Antonio also prices at 61 days when handled through Colon.

Ocean freight is only part of the invoice. Add the RMB local charge package, VGM per bill of lading, the Class 2 destination surcharge, the 10% collect-basis palletizing charge, and the pallet-count declaration that applies to all South America cargo.

How to read this sheet: “Direct” means the carrier's own vessel call and is marked Y on the sheet; “Transship” is marked N and names the relay port in the via column. CISF is listed at 50 W/M on every Chile port and the transshipment handling charge is per bill of lading. The RMB local charges in the next section are quoted in RMB and are separate from the ocean rate.

Rates are the November 2026 Shanghai export DG LCL rates (ETD November 1–14, 2026) plus a USD30/CBM uplift. Guangzhou-origin DG LCL on the same lane is quoted shipment by shipment.
