FCL vs. LCL
You may be wondering that Which one is right for you?
When shipping via sea-freight, you can either fill the container with your own goods (FCL) or share a container (LCL). The best method to use only depends on the size and volume of product that you are impoting.
LCL is when goods are in a shared container ( so you can import a small amount ).
Whereas FCL is when your goods are in a container on their own ( so you can import larger volumes)
