What Is A Freight Forwarder?
What functions can I expect from my Freight Forwarder?

A Freight Forwarder is a transporter of consolidated or single consignment freight through airlines or shipping lines. They supply shippers and consignees with advice on the most cost-effective method of moving cargo and they provide advice about import regulations and requirements in destination countries.

Freight Forwarders provide cartage and pickup from the shippers' premises for exports, and deliver to consignee's premises for imports. For import shipments they prepare export documentation and liaise with overseas agents and suppliers to ensure freight moves correctly and arrives on time. Freight Forwarders can offer door to door shipments - both import and export. A Customs Broker may provide a Freight Forwarding service and a Freight Forwarder may offer Customs Broking services.
