Want to transport frozen food from China to Singapore? LCL (Less than Container Load) sea freight is a great option, especially when the shipment volume is not large. It’s both cost-effective and convenient.
How to Calculate the Cost?
LCL Charges Based on Weight: Typically, the greater value between the “volumetric weight” (calculated from the volume) and the actual weight of the goods is used for calculation. In simple terms, it depends on how much space the goods occupy or how heavy they are, and the larger value is taken as the basis for charging.
The More Goods, the More Cost-Effective: The more goods included in an LCL shipment, the lower the unit price, as the cost of the container is shared among all the goods.
What’s Included in the Cost: Generally, the cost of LCL sea freight covers the entire transportation process from the warehouse in China to the delivery address in Singapore, including customs clearance services. However, it does not include the 9% GST tax in Singapore.
How Long Does It Take?
After the goods are shipped from China, it usually takes about 12 days to reach the delivery address in Singapore. This period includes the entire process from the goods leaving the port, arriving at the Singapore port, going through customs clearance, and being delivered to the door.
In Summary: For LCL sea freight of frozen food to Singapore, the cost is calculated based on weight, and the more goods you ship, the cheaper it gets. The lead time is approximately 12 days, with all services included in the cost, except for the 9% GST tax in Singapore.
