Although LCL shipping service has cost advantages and improved efficiency, it still faces several major problems:
Bill of lading trouble: Since LCL involves multiple cargo owners, usually only the bill of lading issued by the freight forwarder can be obtained, rather than directly issued by the shipping company, which may cause inconvenience in circulation and customs clearance.
Customs clearance obstacles: At the destination port, each consignee needs to complete customs clearance independently. The lack of documents or problems in any pnk may cause the entire container of goods to be detained, affecting the progress of other cargo owners to pick up the goods. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure the completeness and accuracy of customs clearance documents.
Cargo safety concerns: The diversity of goods increases the difficulty of packing. If it is not properly fixed, it is easy to be damaged, displaced or lost during transportation. Strict supervision of packing operations is required to ensure the safety of goods.
Transportation time uncertainty: Waiting for other goods to be LCL causes a delay in departure time, which may affect the production plan and sales arrangement of the consignee. When choosing LCL service, it is necessary to fully evaluate and plan the transportation time.
