FCL — Full Container Load
You rent the entire container. Your goods travel alone from origin to destination — no co-mingling, no shared risk, faster customs release. The better choice once your order fills roughly 12+ CBM.
LCL — Less than Container Load
Your cargo shares space with other importers' shipments — you pay only for what you use. Ideal for trial imports or before a full container is justified.
