DG LCL to Lithuania: what the numbers mean

LCL is charged on the greater of actual volume and the minimum shown on the line, so a 2.5 CBM booking to Vilnius still bills at 3 CBM. Vilnius and Klaipeda each carry two routings — a Tuesday sailing via Gdansk at USD45/CBM, and a Thursday or Sunday sailing via Hamburg or Rotterdam at USD120/CBM. Kaunas only moves via Gdansk, at USD50/CBM.

Ocean freight is only part of the invoice. Add the RMB local charge package, VGM and the new ENS filing per bill of lading, the transshipment handling charge shown on each port line, and the destination confirmations the route notes require.

How to read this sheet: every Lithuanian line is marked “N” in the direct column, so all three ports move by transshipment. HAM is Hamburg, GDANSK is Gdansk and RTM is Rotterdam; the Sunday Klaipeda line reads “RTM (VILNIUS)”, meaning it relays through Rotterdam and then Vilnius. CISF is 50 W/M on every line. 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.
