What is LCL Export?
Less than a Container Load (LCL) refers to shipments that don’t fill an entire shipping container. Instead, your goods will be consolidated with other shipments in the same container, for the same destination, making it a cost-effective option for smaller loads.
At Platinum®, we handle the entire process, from collecting your goods to consolidating them at our depots in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, or Fremantle, and shipping them to your overseas buyer’s port.

What Happens at the Destination Port?
Once your LCL shipment arrives at the overseas port, the container will be transported to a depot for unpacking. Here, the container will be deconsolidated and each party will be required to collect their goods.
Before the goods can be released from the depot, your overseas buyer will need to have arranged customs clearance with their local Customs authority. This step is crucial to ensure that the cargo complies with the destination country’s import regulations.
Our team at Platinum Cargo® will work closely with you and your overseas buyer to ensure that all necessary documentation is in place, minimising delays and ensuring a smooth transition.
