It is designed to ship commercial and personal goods using Less-than-Container Load (LCL), a cost-effective solution for shipping goods from the U.S. to Uganda in boxes and crates by sea.

What is LCL? Why is LCL the most cost-effective option for shipping cargo from the USA to Uganda?

Shipping Less-than-Container Load (LCL) refers to the international transportation of goods by sea, specifically shipping goods from the U.S. to Uganda packed in boxes and crates stocked on pallets that are inefficient to fill an entire 40-foot sea freight container.

It doesn’t matter if you are shipping commercial cargo, sending personal belongings, or moving from the United States to Uganda. Suppose the goods you are shipping to Uganda are appropriately packed in boxes or crates and the overall volume does not exceed 15-20 cubic meters. In that situation, LCL freight is more sensible than shipping entire containers.

By using LCL, you can ship larger cargo at a lower cost:

When sharing a 40-foot sea freight container with other exporters, you only pay for the space you use instead of the whole container. This makes it significantly more cost-effective than shipping a full container (FCL).
LCL freight rates are typically determined by volume (per cubic meter or cubic foot) instead of weight. As a result, if you are shipping general commodities, the weight of the cargo doesn't impact shipping costs. Shipping costs for LCL are typically based on cargo volume, not weight. You may find more information about dimensional weight and U.S. domestic ground transportation on our website.
You could save on ground transportation within the U.S. Delivering your cargo in boxes that fit in your own or rented truck to a freight terminal can help you avoid pre-carriage expenses. Cargo transportation costs within the U.S. are high and often exceed international ocean freight costs.

It is adaptable:

If you deliver loose shipping boxes to a Container Freight Station (CFS), the staff can professionally palletize them into skids. Handling small and lightweight shipping boxes is significantly easier than lifting heavy pallets. You may palletize smaller shipping boxes and request the CFS to ship oversized items loose.
You can ship boxes, crates, or pallets of any size and shape. The only limitation is that all shipping units must fit within a 40-foot sea freight container with internal dimensions of:

Length - 39'5" = 12 meters
Width - 7'5" = 2.35 meters
Height - 7'10" = 2.39 meters
Shipping goods from the USA in cardboard boxes complies with ISPM15 regulations. You can purchase regular shipping boxes at U-Haul, Walmart, Office Depot, etc. We recommend using heavy-duty cardboard shipping boxes. Next, palletize your boxes on either certified ISPM15 stamped pallets or made of plastic.
