What is a container freight station?

A Container Freight Station (CFS) is a facility where cargo is consolidated or deconsolidated before being shipped in containers. At a CFS, goods are received, inspected, sorted, and loaded into or unloaded from shipping containers for import or export. These stations play a crucial role in international logistics by streamlining the movement of goods, managing customs processes, and improving supply chain efficiency. CFS operations help ensure that cargo is properly documented and handled according to regulations before onward transport.
