LCL demurrage refers to the cost charged by the LCL company to the shipper for  compensating for the loss caused by the inability of the cargo to be shipped  in a timely manner after 11:00 noon on the working day before the cut-off date  due to the fault of the shipper during the process of sea freight LCL export.  The demurrage fee is calculated based on the cost of the vacant space

Specific calculation formula: Loss of cargo space fee=booking and billing  cubic meter x (FCL ocean freight+FCL port of origin fee)/standard cubic meter.  Note: Standard cubic numbers: 25/20 ', 50/40', 60/40'HQ

What are the common reasons and preventive measures for generating cabin loss  fees?

(1) The shipper did not have time to enter the warehouse or temporarily cancelled  the shipment booking, but the shipper did not cancel the booking in a timely  manner. Prevention: Freight forwarders are requested to regularly communicate  with shippers before the customs deadline and provide timely feedback on information.  And inform the shipper that he is responsible for notifying, otherwise there  will be a loss of cabin fees.

(2) A significant proportion of excess/reduced/overweight.

Prevention: All freight forwarders are requested to request that the cargo  owner's booking and waybill be as consistent as possible with the actual goods,  and to notify promptly of any changes.

(3) After entering the warehouse, it was found that the characteristics or  specifications of the goods themselves made it impossible to transport, such  as "liquids/dangerous goods/oversized and overweight items". Prevention:  Please inform the shipper that our company does not accept liquids/dangerous  goods/semi dangerous goods, and oversized and overweight items must be confirmed  in advance.

(4) Customs inspection resulted in delayed shipment.

Prevention: All freight forwarders are required to ensure that the customs  declaration of the cargo owner is consistent with the documents and goods.  If there are any questions from the customs, please cooperate with our customs  declarer to respond promptly and clearly to the customs.

What requirements does the customs have to cooperate as much as possible to  ensure timely shipment of goods.

LCL CARGO= LESS CONTAINER LOAD， LCL cargo specifically refers to small ticket  goods that are not loaded in a full container (20 '/40/45). Usually, bulk cargo  consolidation contractors collect goods separately and consolidate them at  container freight stations or inland stations. Then, two or more shipments  are assembled into one container and delivered separately at the destination  container freight station or inland station. For this type of cargo, the carrier  is responsible for the loading and unloading operations, and the loading and  unloading fees are still charged to the cargo owner. The carrier's responsibility  for LCL cargo is basically the same as traditional general cargo transportation.
