First of all, learn about the packing method of container goods. According to the packing quantity and method of container goods, it can be divided into FCL and LCL.

Full Container Load (FCL) Full Container Load, FCL

It refers to the container which is consigned by the container after the cargo is filled by the cargo party. This situation is usually used when the shippers have enough goods to load one or several FCL. Except for some large shippers who have their own containers, they generally rent certain containers from carriers or container leasing companies. After the empty container is delivered to the factory or warehouse, under the supervision of customs officers, the owner of the cargo will pack the container, lock it and seal it with aluminum, then hand it over to the carrier and obtain a yard receipt, which will be exchanged for a bill of lading or waybill.

Less ThanContainer Load (LCL)

It means that the carrier (or agent) accepts the consignor's consignment quantity is less than the full container of the small ticket freight, according to the nature of the goods and the destination of sorting. To pack goods bound for the same destination into a certain number. As a box with different owners of goods together, so called LCL. This situation is used when the shipper's consignment quantity is less than full container. The sorting, sorting, centralization, packing (unpacking) and delivery of LCL cargo are all carried out at the carrier terminal container freight station or inland container transfer station.

LCL can be divided into direct or transshipment. Direct LCL means that the goods in LCL containers are loaded and unloaded at the same port, and the containers are not unpacked before the goods arrive at the port of destination, that is, the goods are the same port of discharge. This kind of LCL service is short, convenient and quick, and generally strong LCL companies will provide only this kind of service. Transshipment refers to the goods in a container that are not the same destination port and need to be unloaded or transshipped in the middle of the container. Due to different destination ports, long time to stay on the ship and other factors, the shipment time of such goods is longer and the freight is even higher.

In general, a specific shipping company cannot be designated for LCL cargo, and the shipping company only accepts booking of FCL cargo, rather than directly accepting booking of LCL cargo. The shipping company can book the shipping space only after the LCL cargo is integrated through the freight forwarder, which is called "centralized handling and centralized allocation".

Secondly, let's have a look at the transfer mode of container goods. As mentioned above, container freight is divided into FCL and LCL, so there are differences in the transfer mode. Looking at the current international practices, there are roughly the following four categories:

整箱交，整箱接（FCL/FCL）

The owner of the cargo delivers the full container to the carrier at the factory or warehouse, and the consignee receives the cargo at the destination in the same container. In other words, the carrier is responsible for the delivery by the container. Packing and unpacking of the goods is the responsibility of the goods.

拼箱交、拆箱接（LCL/LCL）

The shipper will be less than the whole box of small check goods in the container freight station or inland transfer station to the carrier, the carrier is responsible for Stuffing and stuffing (Stuffing, Vanning) shipped to the destination of the terminal or inland transfer station, carrier is responsible for unpacking (Unstuffing, Devantting), after unpacking, the consignee voucher receive goods. The carrier is responsible for packing and unpacking the goods.

整箱交，拆箱接（FCL/LCL）

The owner of the cargo in the factory or warehouse to the carrier after the full container, at the destination of the container freight station or inland transfer station, the carrier is responsible for unpacking, each consignee receives the goods against the document.

拼箱交，整箱接（LCL／FCL）

The owner of the cargo will be less than the full container of the small check to the carrier at the container freight station or inland transfer station. The carrier classifies and adjusts the goods of the same consignee into FCL, which are delivered to the destination by the carrier in FCL and received by the consignee in FCL.

Container delivery point

The handover of container goods is generally divided into: according to the different handover places stipulated in the terms of trade:

01门到门（Door to Door）：From shipper's factory or warehouse to consignee's factory or warehouse；Shipping logistics from China to Pakistan服务。

02门到场（Door to CY）：Container yard from shipper's factory or warehouse to destination or unloading port;

06场到站（CY to CFS）：From the container yard at the place of departure or the port of loading to the container freight station at the destination or the port of unloading;

07站到门（CFS to Door）：From the container freight terminal at the place of shipment or the port of packing to the consignee's factory or warehouse;

08站到场（CFS to CY）：From the container freight station at the place of departure or the port of loading to the container yard at the destination or the port of unloading;

09站到站（CFS to CFS）：From the container freight station at the place of departure or the port of loading to the container freight station at the destination or the port of unloading.
