FCL vs LCL Container Shipping

FCL (Full Container Load) means you fill an entire container — ideal for 15+ CBM of cargo. LCL (Less than Container Load) means your cargo shares a container with other shippers — ideal for smaller volumes. FCL offers faster transit and more security; LCL is more cost-effective for smaller shipments. Carrgo advises on the best option for your cargo volume and budget.

Container Types and Sizes

Carrgo handles all standard container types: 20ft dry (25–28 CBM), 40ft dry (55–58 CBM), 40ft high cube (60–68 CBM), 20ft and 40ft reefer (temperature-controlled), open-top containers (oversized cargo), and flat-rack containers (heavy machinery). We advise on the correct container type for your specific cargo.

Container Customs Clearance

All containers imported into the UK require customs clearance. Carrgo handles all HMRC submissions, import duty calculations, and documentation. Our 99%+ first-submission success rate ensures your container clears customs without delays or unexpected charges.
