DG LCL to France: what the numbers mean

LCL is charged on the greater of actual volume and the 2 CBM minimum, so a 1.2 CBM shipment still bills as 2 CBM. Three services feed the French ports: Sunday via RTM, Saturday via Le Havre and Friday via FOS. Le Havre, Marseille, Fos-sur-Mer, Paris, Lyon and Cannes/Nice/Monaco each carry their own rate on each service, so the same port can show two different numbers in the rate sheet.

Ocean freight is only part of the invoice. Add the RMB local charge package, VGM and ENS per bill of lading, CISF, the transshipment handling fee per bill of lading, and the Class 2 destination surcharge.
