FCL stands for "Full Container Load"

In this mode, the exporter fills the container with their cargo without the need for a second exporter to help complete the container load. Our company offers this service with the best rates on the market for international freight contracts, both for import and export.

LCL stands for "Less Container Load"

This mode indicates that the exporter does not have enough cargo to fill an entire container and therefore will ship their cargo alongside other exporters, with each being responsible for their own cargo. The exporter delivers the cargo to the specified terminal, and the freight agent is responsible for stuffing the container and transporting it to the ship's docking area. Upon arrival at the destination, each importer will be responsible for deconsolidating their cargo.

The BBC Comex acts as a service provider, using the buyer's funds to pay for expenses, taxes, foreign exchange settlements, and other operational risks. The business agreement is invariably made between the buyer and the exporter. According to Federal Revenue Service regulations, this mode is characterized by the following conditions:

  1. The resources used in the import operation may come from the buyer.

Federal Revenue Service Instruction No. 634, dated March 24, 2006, establishes requirements and conditions for the performance of importing legal entities in operations carried out for resale to a predetermined purchaser, or in other words: in this mode, there is a predetermined buyer of the goods, who agrees with the foreign supplier (exporter) on the values and logistics of the business. The trading company acts as the importer of the goods, and after processing the goods through customs and paying the respective taxes, resells them to this single predetermined buyer. According to Federal Revenue Service regulations, this modality is characterized by the following conditions, as per IN 634/06:

  1. The resources used in the import operation must necessarily come from the trading company.
  2. The registration of the Import Declaration (DI) is conditioned upon the prior association of the trading company with the buyer in the Siscomex system.
