Sino-german Railway Route
An ideal shipping mode if you are a small or medium importer whose imports cannot fill a container.
This mode involves your cargo being loaded together with others to fill a container.
Of course, this is possible only if other importers are on the same road as you..
The limitation here is that you will have to wait longer for you to receive your cargo.
This is because the ship must unload other imports before arriving at your port.
There are also some hidden dangers. When you use this mode, your goods may be damaged or stay at another port.
LCL is cheaper compared to FCL when you are shipping small quantities of goods.
If you import a large number of goods, you may need to consider full containers to undertake your transportation.
Full container means that you only ship your goods in this container,using this mode of shipping allows for the shipment of your cargo without damages arising from sharing a container.
Because of this, you can safely transport fragile or valuable items. After all, they are your goods, and you don't need to fill the entire container with goods.
You can leave space if your cargo is all in, but you will still pay the price of the whole container.
There are two kinds of containers for you to choose from, one is a 20 foot container, the other is a 40 foot container.
