DG LCL to Portugal: 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. Leixões and Lisbon both sit at USD75/CBM on the Mediterranean lane and share the same Monday sailing; neither port is called direct, both are relayed through Barcelona with a 61-day transit.

Ocean freight is only part of the invoice. Transshipment handling differs by destination — EUR300/BILL for Leixões and EUR250/BILL for Lisbon — on top of the RMB local charge package, VGM and ENS per bill of lading, and the Class 2 destination surcharge where it applies.

How to read this sheet: the direct column is marked N at both ports, so every shipment is relayed through BAR (Barcelona). CISF and transshipment handling are shown exactly as they stand in the rate sheet. 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.
