Its sealed nature offers a heightened degree of safety, making it the preferred choice when shipping valuable items or those susceptible to damage.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Example:<\/strong> For instance, if you have a business dealing in furniture, filling an FCL container with your products would offer safety against possible damage during transportation and cost savings from the fixed FCL shipping quote.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Cost Implications:<\/strong> Whilst the FCL shipping rate may seem high initially, remember the cost per unit decreases with a larger volume. Choosing FCL could mean spending less in the long run, particularly when your shipment fills approximately half or more of a 20'ft container or a quarter of a 40'ft container. A thorough cost analysis is encouraged to determine if FCL or LCL would result in more cost savings for your shipping needs.<\/p>\r\n            \r\n        <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-57ceaede\" data-id=\"57ceaede\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-66eeb2d0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"66eeb2d0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/LCL-image.svg\" title=\"\" alt=\"Less than Container Load\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fb0e1d1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget\" data-id=\"fb0e1d1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t        <div class=\"title-area\">\r\n                        <h4 class=\"sec-title style2\">Less container load (LCL)<\/h4>                                        <p class=\"sec-text\"><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Definition:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/docshipper.us\/en\/ocean-freight\/#:~:text=LCL%20Freight,by%20LCL.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #920d12\"><strong>LCL or Less than Container Load<\/strong><\/span><\/a> is a shipping term that denotes a shipment not large enough to fill a standard cargo container.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">When to Use:<\/strong> This shipping option is ideal when you have a small volume of goods, say less than <span style=\"color: #920d12\"><strong>13\/14\/15 CBM<\/strong><\/span>. It provides a cost-effective solution with flexibility for low volume shipments.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Example:<\/strong> Imagine a small US business exporting artisanal cheeses to Lebanon\u2014producing just enough to fill 10 CBM every month. Opting for LCL shipment allows for this smaller, consistent delivery, keeping costs down and ensuring a predictable supply for their Lebanese clientele.<br><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Cost Implications:<\/strong> With LCL freight, your cost depends on the cubic meter volume of your shipment, not the entire container. Therefore, instead of paying for unused space in a full container, you only pay for what you use. However, handling costs are typically higher since the freight needs to be consolidated and deconsolidated. Plus, you may face longer delivery times due to the additional handling.<\/p>\r\n            \r\n        <\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-3b4ed788 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3b4ed788\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-62d01f24\" data-id=\"62d01f24\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-789c7bea elementor-widget elementor-widget-docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget\" data-id=\"789c7bea\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"docshipper-theme-section-title-one-widget.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t        <div class=\"title-area\">\r\n                        <p class=\"sec-title style2\">Hassle-free shipping<\/p>                                        <p class=\"sec-text\">Facing a dilemma about consolidation or full container options in your sea freight journey from the US to Lebanon?

On the other hand, <strong>volumetric weight<\/strong> considers the space a package occupies in relation to its weight.<\/p><br><p>For an Air Cargo shipment, you can calculate the volumetric weight by multiplying the <strong>length, width, and height (in cm)<\/strong> of your package, then dividing the result by 6000. In Express Air Freight, the divisor is 5000 instead of 6000.<\/p><br><p><strong>Let&#8217;s say you&#8217;re shipping a box with dimensions 50cm x 50cm x 50cm using Air Cargo. The volumetric weight would be (50 x 50 x 50) \/ 6000, which equals 20.83 kg, or about 46 lbs. If the gross weight of this box is 18 kg (approximately 40 lbs), the carrier would consider the volumetric weight when calculating freight charges, as it&#8217;s higher.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>These calculations matter because in freight shipping, carriers charge based on the higher of the two weights. This ensures they&#8217;re compensated for the space your package takes up in their vehicle, even if the item is relatively lightweight.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-1d3919f9 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1d3919f9\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-716fb871\" data-id=\"716fb871\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1282f48d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1282f48d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/gross-weight-image.svg\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-258d6a01 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"258d6a01\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/volumetric-weight-image.svg\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6cf1b677 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6cf1b677\" data-element_type=\"widget\" id=\"door-to-door\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/door-to-door-banner.png\" title=\"\" alt=\"door-to-door-dg\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c9496b20 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"c9496b20\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8c4440b8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8c4440b8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h2>Door to door between US and Lebanon<\/h2><br><p>Navigating the world of global shipping?

Begin your equation with the country of manufacture or production for the goods, as this is the origin point, key to determining duty rates. From iconic American fashion to the country&#8217;s reliable machinery, it&#8217;s crucial to identify where your goods hail from. Do they originate from the heartland of the United States or perhaps one of the country&#8217;s coastal manufacturing hubs? Once their birthplace is solidified, you&#8217;ll need the Harmonized System or HS code, which is a universally standardized code for products. Add to this the Customs Value of the goods based on transaction value concerns like the price paid or payable. <\/p><br><p>The applicable tariff rate will also play a significant part in the calculation. By understanding these factors, you&#8217;re armed with the info necessary to predict your importing fees. Their combination will help to create a more distinct portrait of your potential duty expenses and pave the way for a smooth customs process. But remember, other fees and taxes designated by Lebanese customs may apply, varying your overall duty and tax costs. Each product is unique, and your fees are dependent on the mix and match of these factors. Your import journey starts with the identification of your goods&#8217; country of origin, and each step that follows will bring you closer to unveiling your freight\u2019s import fees.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7eeb8df7 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"7eeb8df7\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4e1531cb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4e1531cb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 1 &#8211; Identify the Country of Origin<\/h3><br><p>Let&#8217;s dig into the importance of identifying the <strong>Country of Origin<\/strong> before diving into the HS code.<\/p><br><p><strong>1. Trade Rules:<\/strong> Every country has unique trading regulations. Knowing these can help you save money and avoid complications.<\/p><br><p><strong>2. Trade Agreements:<\/strong> The US and Lebanon have bilateral agreements that directly impact tax calculations. Stay in the loop to grasp potential savings on customs duties.<\/p><br><p><strong>3. Import Restrictions:<\/strong> Certain US goods might be off-limits in Lebanon. Familiarize yourself with these to sidestep unnecessary losses.<\/p><br><p><strong>4. Customs Duties:<\/strong> A product&#8217;s origin can sway the duty percentages. Navigate this aspect adeptly to keep fees at a minimum.<\/p><br><p><strong>5. Declaration:<\/strong> It is your responsibility to correctly declare the Country of Origin. Failures can result in fines or even confiscation of goods.<\/p><br><p>Remember, jumping the gun and skipping straight to the HS code might be tempting, but beginning at the heart of your shipment &#8211; its Country of Origin &#8211; sets the tone for an effective, hiccup-free import process.

It&#8217;s not just the price tag on your products, but includes a few more factors.

We call this the <strong>CIF value<\/strong>.<\/p><br><p>Let&#8217;s flesh out an example: <strong>if you&#8217;re shipping a machine worth $5000 from the U.S. to Lebanon, you don&#8217;t just consider that $5000. If it costs $1000 to ship and $200 for insurance, your customs value will be $7200. That&#8217;s the figure that customs will use to calculate duties and taxes<\/strong>. By understanding this, you can avoid unexpected costs and streamline your shipping experience.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e96978b0 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"e96978b0\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-48389ef1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"48389ef1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 4 &#8211; Figure out the applicable Import Tariff<\/h3><br><p>An import tariff is a tax imposed by a country&#8217;s government on incoming foreign goods. In the context of Lebanon, you&#8217;ll come across the <strong>Most-Favored Nation (MFN)<\/strong> tariffs, an import duty rate accorded to all <strong>World Trade Organization (WTO)<\/strong> members.<\/p><br><p>Here is a straightforward method to identify the applicable import tariff:<\/p><br><p>1. Visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/tao.wto.org\/welcome.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>WTO&#8217;s Tariff Analysis Online (TAO)<\/strong><\/a> portal.<br \/><br>2. Enter the Harmonized System (HS) code of your product, given the earlier steps.<br \/><br>3. Specify the origin as the United States.<\/p><br><p>As an example, let&#8217;s use the HS Code of coffee: 090111. When we input this HS code on the TAO portal, select the United States as the origin, Lebanon&#8217;s MFN tariff for importing coffee is shown to be 5%.<\/p><br><p>To calculate the import duties, we sum the Cost, Insurance, and Freight (CIF) value with the tariff rate. If CIF is $1000, your import duty is $1000 0.05 = $50. So, your total cost, including duties, would be $1050. Being familiar with this process can help streamline customs clearance and avoid unexpected expenses.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-436ca9ac e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"436ca9ac\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0f7f65e7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0f7f65e7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 5 &#8211; Consider other Import Duties and Taxes<\/h3><br><p>Importing goods to Lebanon entails more than the standard tariff rate. Each product, depending on its country of origin and nature, may be subject to various import duties and taxes.<\/p><br><p>Consider the excise duty &#8211; often applied to items such as alcohol or tobacco, this tax is imposed on specific goods and can alter your total import cost significantly. Suppose, for instance, you&#8217;re importing premium whisky; you might find an excise duty applied over and above the standard tariff rate.<\/p><br><p>The anti-dumping tax serves to protect local industries. If you&#8217;re importing goods priced significantly lower than the local market rate, this tax may be added. Imagine you\u2019re selling Chinese steel at a lesser price than the local market; Lebanon may impose an anti-dumping tax to level the playing field.<\/p><br><p>The <strong>VAT (Value Added Tax)<\/strong> is an essential component to consider when calculating your final landed cost. As an example, if Lebanon&#8217;s standard VAT rate is 11% (note: this is an example rate, actual rates may vary), you\u2019ll need to add it to the cumulative total of your product cost, freight, insurance, and import duties.<\/p><br><p>Keep these lesser-known but impactful taxes in mind to accurately anticipate your import costs and steer clear of surprises.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b62aa960 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"b62aa960\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-80fce9de elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"80fce9de\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<br>\t<h3>Step 6 &#8211; Calculate the Customs Duties<\/h3><br><p>In Step 6, you&#8217;ll master the formula to compute your Customs Duties &#8211; it&#8217;s simple arithmetic! Firstly, identify your customs value (the total cost of your goods, including purchase cost, transportation, and insurance).<\/p><br><p><strong>For example, let\u2019s consider you importing a couch worth $1,000, and you paid $200 for freight and $50 for insurance. Your customs value is $1,000+$200+$50=$1,250.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>Next, apply the customs tax. With no VAT and a custom duty of 5%, you shell out $1,2505%=$62.5.<\/p><br><p>Adding VAT? Calculate 10% of the customs value + customs duty. <strong>For instance, using the previous custom value, with VAT you&#8217;d pay ($1,250+$62.5)10%=$131.25.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>For products with anti-dumping taxes and Excise Duty (say 15% and 20% respectively), simply tack on the percentages. <strong>Again using the previous example, it&#8217;d be ($1,250+$62.5)15% (anti-dumping tax) = $196.87, and ($1,250+$62.5)20% (Excise Duty) = $262.5.<\/strong><\/p><br><p>These calculations can become complex.

However, negotiation talks are ongoing under the U.S.-Lebanon Trade and Investment Framework Agreement. For your shipping business, this essentially translates to standard international trade rules applying when transporting goods between these two nations. Potential future agreements or infrastructure projects could impact operations, offering opportunities for enhanced trade facilitation and lower costs.

Predominantly, Lebanon imports machinery, vehicles, electrical equipment, and mineral fuels from the US, <strong>with an annual import figure rounding $1.3 billion in 2023.<\/strong> Conversely,<strong> the US&#8217;s imports from Lebanon<\/strong>, majorly in the form of precious metals, textiles, and foodstuffs, <strong>accounted for approximately $67 million in 2023<\/strong>. This has been further cemented with key milestones such as the 2006 signing of the Trade and Investment Framework Agreement, burgeoning mutual economic interests. The US remains among the top direct foreign investors in Lebanon, further strengthening this dynamic trade relationship. From historical ties to contemporary partnerships, the US-Lebanon trade trajectory has nurtured a rich gateway for goods, services, and economic growth for both nations.<\/p><br>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-4c67ee8e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4c67ee8e\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-612237e3\" data-id=\"612237e3\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6b767bf7 elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6b767bf7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Your first steps with DocShipper<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1a2f0090 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1a2f0090\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDrowned in logistics and customs complexities of US-Lebanon shipping?
