DG LCL to Tunisia: what the numbers mean
LCL is charged on the greater of actual volume and the 2 CBM minimum, so a 1 CBM shipment still bills as 2 CBM. Tunis (TUNIS(PP)) prices at USD345/CBM on a Sunday sailing that relays through Rotterdam and runs 51 days door to port.
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, the Class 4.1 condition on relay cargo through RTM, and the EUR650/BILL transshipment handling charge shown on the rate sheet.
