- KeelungUSD100–110
- Kaohsiung (via Keelung)USD110–120
Valid for ETD November 1–14, 2026. Base rate plus USD30/CBM uplift. Each port is quoted in two steps (Keelung USD100 and USD110, Kaohsiung USD110 and USD120); we confirm the step that applies when we book.
DG LCL to Taiwan, China: what the numbers mean
LCL bills on the greater of actual volume and the 3 CBM minimum, so a 1.5 CBM shipment still pays for 3 CBM, and the billed volume goes on the bill of lading. Keelung runs on the vessel's own call in two days. Kaohsiung is discharged at Keelung, cleared there, then relayed south in seven days.
The sheet carries a USD300/BILL transfer charge against Kaohsiung, but that figure is a reference only — the real relay cost depends on the delivery address and the cargo, so we confirm it per booking. Ocean freight is also not the whole invoice: add the RMB local charges, EBS and VGM, and the Class 2 destination surcharge where it applies.

FAQ: Dangerous Goods LCL from China to Taiwan, China
Keelung runs USD100–110 per CBM and Kaohsiung USD110–120 per CBM, with a 3 CBM minimum per booking. Those figures are the carrier's base rate plus a USD30/CBM uplift. The sheet quotes two rate steps per port — USD100 and USD110 for Keelung, USD110 and USD120 for Kaohsiung — and we confirm which step applies when we book. Rates hold for ETD November 1–14, 2026.
Two ports: Keelung on a Thursday sailing, direct, 2 days; and Kaohsiung on a Thursday sailing by relay through Keelung, 7 days, with import clearance handled at Keelung.
The lane takes IMDG Class 2.2, 3, 4.1, 6.1, 8 and 9 cargo. If your commodity sits outside those six classes, send the SDS and we will confirm the routing before you book.
Kaohsiung boxes are discharged at Keelung, cleared there and relayed south, which is why the transit runs 7 days instead of 2. The sheet shows USD300/BILL against Kaohsiung, but that figure is indicative only: the real transfer cost depends on your delivery address and the cargo data, and we quote it per booking.
EBS is RMB30/RT and VGM is USD15/BL. Both Taiwan, China ports are marked N in the CISF column, so no CISF applies.
Handling RMB200/BL; export declaration RMB200 per commodity; shipping declaration RMB100 per commodity; Class 4.1 surcharge on out-of-terminal cargo RMB800 per shipment; and a USD200 destination surcharge on Class 2 cargo by default.
LCL bills on the greater of actual volume and the minimum, so a 1.5 CBM shipment pays for 3 CBM. The billed volume appears on the bill of lading, so there is no surprise later.
Yes. Dangerous goods must ship palletized and hazard-labeled. If your supplier cannot do it, we arrange palletizing and marking at the warehouse for a separate charge.

Attach a copy of the packaging certificate for export dangerous goods, plus the export cylinder safety inspection certificate and report for cylinders. Four days before the sailing, send the original packaging certificate and the dangerous goods technical description.
No later than four days before the sailing date. Warehouse handling inside the shed, including loading and unloading, is charged separately and is not part of the RMB package.
From June 15 to October 15, 2026, Class 2, 3 and 4.1 cargo is received at the warehouse only from 08:00 to 10:00 and 16:00 to 18:00. Book trucking inside those windows.
Class 2 cargo carries a USD200 destination surcharge by default, on top of the ocean rate and the RMB local charges.
Customs examination, scanning and any hold-related costs are billed at cost, with the documents attached. Nothing is marked up on top.
