DG LCL to El Salvador: what the numbers mean
LCL bills on the greater of actual volume and the minimum, so a 1.5 CBM shipment still bills as 2 CBM. Acajutla and San Salvador share the same rate on the November 2026 sheet: USD360/CBM, Saturday sailing, marked transship, relay via COLON, 46 days transit. Both port names also carry the note 1CBM=500KG, so the revenue ton is 500 kg per cubic meter and a dense cargo can bill on weight rather than volume.
Ocean freight is only part of the invoice. Add the RMB local charge package, VGM at USD15/BL, a transshipment fee of USD350/BILL with a possible USD2500 charge for some classes, CISF at 50 W/M, and a 10% collection fee when freight is paid at destination. The block note on pallet-count customs declaration is written for South America cargo; whether it reaches El Salvador shipments is confirmed case by case.
