CFS (Container Freight Station )

CFS (Container Freight Station )

A Container Freight Station is a facility where cargo is consolidated or deconsolidated before being loaded into or unloaded from containers for international shipment.

At a CFS, goods from multiple shippers are grouped together into containers for LCL (Less than Container Load) shipments, or containers are unpacked for delivery to individual consignees. The CFS also handles processes like customs inspections, documentation, and temporary storage. It plays a key role in managing efficient logistics for shipments that do not fill a full container.
