  • ABOUT LCL EXPORT FROM INDIA TO MALE

    LESS THAN CONTAINER LOAD (LCL): 

     If your freight shipment weighs over 500kg but is less than 15 cubic meters in volume, LCL shipping can often be your best option. If you choose LCL, expect a slightly longer delivery time for your shipment, because your container won’t dispatch until it’s filled with other cargo in a process called consolidation. On arrival in the Nigeria, the shipment will have to pass customs and be de-consolidated before release.

    HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO SHIP CARGO:

    To provide you with a freight quote for importing from India to the Male, your chosen freight forwarder will need to take into account the following factors:

    1)The nature of the cargo

    2)The size, weight, and volume of the shipment

    3)The preferred ports of origin and destination

    4)The type of delivery service requested (such as Port-to-Port or Door-to-Door)

    HOW LONG DOEST IT TAKE TO SHIP CARGO:

    Ocean shipping from India to the Male takes more than 20 days. There are vast swathes of ocean to cover on the journey. Any door-to-door shipments will take longer when you add-on the overland journey times.
