DG LCL to Jamaica: 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 on the Jamaica service. Kingston is the only Jamaican destination on the sheet this month: Saturday sailing, relay via Colon, 44 days, USD350/CBM, with CISF at 50 W/M and a USD550/BILL transshipment fee.
Ocean freight is only part of the invoice. Add the RMB local charge package, VGM at USD15/BL, the transshipment fee per bill of lading, the 10% collection fee when freight is paid at destination, and a pallet-count customs declaration for all South America cargo. Every DG shipment must be palletised and marked before it reaches the warehouse.
