Additional services

We make your day-to-day easier and support you at every stage of your ocean freight operation:

Routes via DTA

For origins or destinations without direct LCL service, Allink offers service via DTA. With locations in several states, this gives our LCL service nationwide coverage and an extensive reach.

LTL

For your shipments arriving in Santos, rely on our LTL service for cargo pickup at the port and delivery to your factory. You only pay for the space your cargo takes up on the truck, with coverage within a 450 km radius. To learn more, speak with our specialists.

F.A.Q.: answers to frequently asked questions about LCL

  • What is the Direct BL service for LCL freight, and when should you use it?

    Direct BL is the ideal solution when the freight forwarder does not issue its own bill of lading. Allink therefore enables LCL shipments by issuing the bill of lading directly to the final importer or exporter, while keeping document coordination centralized.

  • Does Allink serve the final importer or exporter directly?

    No. Allink operates with 100% neutrality, serving exclusively freight forwarders, customs brokers, customs clearance agents and foreign trade consultants. This policy ensures that your end customer and business opportunities are protected with us.

  • Does Allink operate as its own LCL consolidator or pass cargo on to a co-loader?

    Allink is an NVOCC with its own infrastructure and one of the few neutral freight consolidators operating in Brazil. This means that we operate the services we sell, delivering the direct services we advertise to the market.

  • How Is LCL Freight Calculated at Allink?

    LCL freight is calculated according to the international ocean freight rule: charges are based on whichever is greater, the cargo’s gross weight (in metric tons) or the total volume of space occupied (in cubic meters - CBM).

  • Can dangerous goods (IMO) be consolidated in LCL service?

    Yes, provided they first undergo a rigorous technical assessment. IMO-classified goods (such as flammable liquids) require checking stowage compatibility with the other items in the consolidated container to ensure compliance with maritime regulations.
