LCL Consolidation Services in Chennai & Bangalore
LCL Consolidation Services
Have only a few pallets or cartons to export? You don’t need to pay for a full 20ft or 40ft container. With LCL (Less than Container Load) consolidation, your cargo shares container space with other shippers, and you pay only for the space you use (per CBM).
PAS Freight Services Pvt Ltd is an AEO-certified LCL consolidator and sea freight forwarder with HO in Bengaluru and branches in Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi and Hyderabad. We handle pickup, CFS stuffing, customs clearance and delivery, connecting small and medium exporters to global markets at an affordable cost.
How LCL Shipping Works
- Share cargo details: volume (CBM), weight and destination. We send LCL rates.
- Pickup & CFS: we collect your cargo and deliver it to the Container Freight Station (CFS).
- Consolidation & customs: your cargo is stuffed with other shipments and export-cleared.
- Sailing & delivery: the container sails, is de-consolidated at destination, and your cargo is delivered.
Who Should Use LCL?
- Small and medium exporters with less than about 15 CBM of cargo
- Businesses sending samples, trial orders or regular small shipments
- E-commerce and garment exporters shipping frequent part loads
- Importers who want to avoid paying for unused container space

LCL Shipping FAQs
What is LCL shipping?
LCL (Less than Container Load) shipping lets you send cargo that doesn't fill a full container. Your goods share container space with other shippers, and you pay only for the volume (CBM) you use.
When should I choose LCL instead of FCL?
LCL is usually more economical for smaller shipments, typically under about 15 CBM. For larger volumes, a full container (FCL) is often cheaper. Share your cargo details and we'll recommend the best option.
How are LCL charges calculated?
LCL freight is charged per CBM (cubic metre) or per tonne, whichever is higher, plus origin and destination charges such as CFS handling and documentation. We provide a clear, all-inclusive quote.
Is my cargo safe in a shared container?
Yes. We advise on proper packing and palletisation, and your cargo is handled by vetted CFS operators and agents to protect it during consolidation and transit.
Which cities do you offer LCL services from?
We offer LCL consolidation from our HO in Bengaluru and branches in Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi and Hyderabad, to major ports worldwide.
