Lebanon is located between Israel and Syria, giving its coast to the Mediterranean Sea. Its exports reached a value of more than 4 billion dollars during 2017, but imports stand out even more, for more than 20 billion dollars. It can be seen, Lebanon is an exciting country to export to, it already depends heavily on foreign products.
Among its most important imports are food products, such as pasta or rice or dairy products. It also highlights the importation of cars and computer equipment.
Due to its geographical and cultural proximity, its chief international trade partners are countries such as Syria or Saudi Arabia. Switzerland or South Africa also stand out but to a lesser extent.
To send your products to Lebanon, you can choose between the option of a full container (FCL) or groupage (LCL or shared container).
In general, the full container is recommended for shipments of more than six pallets. Also, depending on the total merchandise, it will be a 20-foot (10 pallets) or 40-foot (up to 21 pallets) container.
If you do not need so much space, you can book a shipment to Lebanon by LCL or a shared container, paying only for the necessary space. Even so, this option is not recommended when your delivery cannot be accompanied by third-party merchandise.
