Cargo Consolidation refers to the grouping of merchandises being embarked from different shippers to different consignees. Cargo consolidation is an efficient way to optimise space availability and to reduce transportation costs. Cargo consolidation implies the elaboration of master and house shipping documents issued to each shipper and consignee whose cargoes are being grouped or “consolidated”.

Cargo consolidation and deconsolidation activities are performed at customs facilities authorized for said purpose such as yards and warehouses located in the different ports and airports.
