FCL containers from China to Germany

FCL reserves a container for your shipment. It reduces consolidation-related handling and can suit larger volumes, sensitive goods or defined loading procedures.

01

Choose containers using a real loading plan

Theoretical cubic capacity alone does not guarantee that cargo will fit. Carton dimensions, pallets, weight distribution, door dimensions and load securing determine actual loadability.

02

Loading in China

Depending on the Incoterm and location, the container is positioned at the factory or goods are consolidated in a warehouse first. Loading time, access, equipment and export documents are agreed.

03

Avoid demurrage and detention

Free time and return deadlines matter for predictable costs. We communicate relevant cut-offs and time windows where available for the order.

PRICING & PROCESS

Transport charges: how they are calculated

International freight rates change with route, departure, capacity, fuel and currency. The main transport is therefore quoted at the current daily rate rather than presented as a permanently valid fixed price.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The specific goods and transport structure may require a different assessment. We review your individual case.

Which container is right?+

It depends on volume, weight, package dimensions and cargo type. A loading plan is more reliable than a CBM estimate alone.

Can FCL combine multiple suppliers?+

Yes. Goods can first be consolidated in the China warehouse and loaded into the container there.
