Frequently Asked Questions

Common freight forwarding questions from Arab importers.

What is the difference between FCL and LCL shipping?

FCL (Full Container Load) means you book an entire container — 20ft (25 CBM) or 40ft (55 CBM). LCL (Less than Container Load) means your cargo shares space with other shippers. FCL is cheaper per CBM for large orders and faster. LCL is better for small orders under 10 CBM. China24 advises which is more cost-effective for your specific order.
