Freight all Kinds (FAK)
What does this term stand for?
Freight all Kinds (FAK) is a shipping term used in logistics to describe a shipment containing multiple types of cargo consolidated under a single freight rate.

This approach simplifies billing, optimizes container space, and reduces transportation costs, making it popular in international trade and multimodal logistics. Implementing FAK requires careful planning, proper labeling, and secure packaging to ensure that all cargo types are transported safely and efficiently, without compromising handling or regulatory compliance.
