Browse ArticlesFrequently Asked Questions
What does a freight forwarder in Korea do?
A Korean freight forwarder (like KWL) coordinates the entire international shipping process on behalf of exporters and importers: selecting transport modes (sea or air), negotiating freight rates, booking carriers, preparing shipping documents, arranging customs clearance, and managing inland transport.
What is the difference between FCL and LCL?
FCL (Full Container Load) means you use an entire container exclusively for your cargo — ideal for large shipments or cargo that cannot be co-loaded. LCL (Less Container Load) consolidates cargo from multiple shippers into one container, making it cost-effective for smaller shipments.
Can KWL handle heavy cargo and oversized shipments?
Yes. KWL specialises in Heavy Cargo including railway cars, power transformers, power plant equipment, and over-dimensional industrial machinery. We arrange Breakbulk vessels, Heavy Lift ships, and semi-submersible carriers, and manage the full process from cargo drawing review to final delivery.
What information is needed for a sea freight quote from Korea?
For an accurate sea freight quote from Korea, please provide: origin and destination, cargo description, packaging type, quantity, weight (kg), dimensions (L×W×H cm), CBM, expected shipment date, Incoterms (EXW, FOB, CIF, etc.), and whether the cargo is hazardous.
