Should I use FCL or LCL sea freight for 300 KG to Uganda?
For 300 KG to Uganda, LCL through the main commercial seaport is usually right unless cargo exceeds ~5–6 CBM or ships regularly. FCL becomes economical above roughly 15,000–18,000 KG and removes commingling risk during clearance by the national customs service.
How is chargeable weight calculated for Uganda shipments?
We compare actual gross weight against volumetric weight (L×W×H ÷ 6000 for air) and charge whichever is greater, rounded up to the next kilogram. For 300 KG this matters most when cargo is light but bulky — consolidating cartons can drop you into a cheaper bracket.
