When shipping large or bulky items that don’t require a full container, LCL (Less than Container Load) sea freight is an ideal solution. In this case, we focus on transporting stainless steel seamless pipes (HS code: 7304419000) from Shanghai to Mexico. The shipment included 4 pieces, weighing 4799 kg with a total volume of 2.8 CBM.
Why Choose LCL for This Shipment? 💡
LCL allows you to share container space with other shippers, which significantly reduces costs for smaller shipments. This option was ideal for this shipment, which didn’t require the full space of a 20-foot container.
