FCL or LCL

Ocean Freight from Vietnam to the Philippines

Less than Container Load (LCL): Your freight can be shipped from Vietnam to the Philippines in a shared container using LCL shipping. It’s ideal if your consignment is small and can’t be transported as air freight for safety or financial reasons.

You should consider this form of shipping if:

• Your consignment is a small one—less than 14 cubic meters.
• Your consignee in Japan does not require the freight urgently.
• You’re happy for your goods to be shipped in a shared container.
• Your cargo cannot be shipped as air freight.

Full Container Load (FCL): Your cargo can be transported to the Philippines in a container that’s exclusively for your use when you use FCL shipping. There’s no obligation to fill the container—you can send a partial load if you wish. FCL is usually quicker than LCL and less expensive if you have a lot of goods to transport.

If LCL ocean shipping doesn’t meet your needs, FCL might. It’s often used by shippers who:

• Have a big consignment to ship—at least 14 cubic meters.
• Need their goods to arrive by a certain date.
• Need to transport goods that aren’t suited to sharing a container.
• Want their container to be sealed before shipment, and for it to remain sealed until it’s received by the consignee.

How Much Does it Cost to Ship Cargo from Vietnam to the Philippines?

The factors that will determine the cost of your shipment to the Philippines include:

• How far it is from the point of origin to the point of arrival.
• The precise nature of the goods you’re shipping.
• The weight and volume of your freight.
• Your choice of LCL ocean, FCL ocean, or air shipping.
• Whether you require a door-to-door, door-to-port, port-to-port, or port-to-door delivery.
