LCL cargo billing ton must be accurate. Before delivery of LCL by sea, the factory should be required to measure the weight and measurement of the goods as accurately as possible. When the goods are delivered to the warehouse designated by the forwarder, the warehouse will generally be re-measured and the re-measured size and weight will be charged. If the factory changes the packaging, it should ask the factory to inform it in time. Instead of waiting for the goods to be delivered to the forwarder's warehouse, the forwarder should send back the information. The time is often very tight, and then change the customs declaration data, which may easily delay the customs declaration, or cause the urgent customs declaration fee and the port charge, etc.
In some ports, due to the shortage of sea freight and high cost, freight forwarding companies specializing in sea freight and LCL adopt the lowest charging standard for goods with less cargo volume. If the lowest starting rate is 2 freight tons, that is, less than 2 freight tons, they will charge according to 2 freight tons. Accordingly to goods quantity is lesser, the goods with more partial port should consider a few such factors more when clinking a deal, lest be passive in the future.
