Term · Logistics and supply chain · MLC-T-LOG-000037

A logistics service where a consolidator groups multiple smaller shipments from different suppliers in an exporting country into a single, larger container shipment for one consignee. This service is designed for an importer who purchases goods from several manufacturers located in the same region. The process contrasts with less-than-container-load (LCL) shipping, where shipments from multiple consignees are combined.
