What is a CFS container?

CFS containers, or Container Freight Station containers, are shipping containers that are stored and handled at Container Freight Stations. These stations serve as facilities where goods are consolidated or deconsolidated before import or export. CFS containers are typically used for Less than Container Load (LCL) shipments, where cargo from multiple shippers is combined into a single container. This process helps streamline customs clearance and makes international shipping more efficient for smaller shipments. CFS containers play a crucial role in the logistics and supply chain industry.
