1. What is consol goods?
In the import and export cargo operation, LCL (Less than Container Load) means that the stacked goods are insufficient, not enough of a container.
Thus, when you export or import, you will encounter a case where the goods are not enough to fill a container. Therefore, your goods need to be containerized with some other shipments.
At that time, the service company will combine lots of retail shipments (LCL shipments), arrange, classify, make vouchers and put them together in containers, then arrange transport from loading port to destination port. Profession of packing goods into containers so people call consolidation, consolidation or consolidation. LCL goods (also known as retail goods, consol goods) are distinguished from FCL (Full Container Load), which means that goods are loaded in full container, without needing to pair with another shipment.

In fact, LCL shipments in the same container do not always go to the same destination port. Many times, they can only be shipped together on a certain route, then unloaded and sorted into other containers (reloads) before going on. In the market today most of the retail sellers usually through forwarder companies (the company provides domestic transport services, international transport by sea and air, helping customers declare customs , prepare transport documents, warehousing and delivery services)
Retail sales are called consolidators. So when a customer books through Forwarder (FWD), FWD has to book up consol, this has been uploaded once. If a customer books the goods via FWD1 then FWD1 book to FWD2, then FWD2 just writes to consol then coload twice. Thus, the LCL co-load is the odd cargo that must be transferred to another container to reach the destination port.
