DG LCL to Poland: what the numbers mean

LCL is charged on the greater of actual volume and the minimum, so a 1.5 CBM shipment on the Tuesday sailing still bills as 3 CBM. Warsaw, Katowice, Lodz, Poznan and Wroclaw are the cheapest entry points at USD35/CBM; the two seaports, Gdansk and Gdynia, are USD45/CBM on the direct group and USD120/CBM on the Sunday RTM relay.

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

How to read this sheet: “Direct” means the carrier's own vessel call, “Transship” means a relay through the port shown, and “N” in the transshipment fee column means no charge on that routing. One port can carry more than one rate because it is quoted in more than one route block and sailing group — book against the group you need.

Rates are the November 2026 Shanghai export DG LCL rates (ETD November 1–14, 2026) plus a USD30/CBM uplift. Guangzhou-origin DG LCL to Poland is quoted shipment by shipment.
