A Container Freight Station fee is assessed for LCL shipments.After arriving at the destination port, LCL cargo is taken to a container freight station (CFS) to be deconsolidated; after that, it’s loaded into a truck and transported to the final destination. The CFS charges a fee for this deconsolidation service, based on the volume of the cargo. If you are shipping LCL and your incoterms include origin charges (e.g., Ex Works), you will also see a container freight station fee under Origin Charges on your FreightAmigo quote/invoice. This charges covers the CFS service at the point of origin, when the cargo is consolidated to prepare for shipment.
