What is freight forwarding in international shipping?
Freight forwarding is the planning and coordinating of the movement of commodities that are sold/purchased in international trade, on behalf of shippers/exporters or consignees/importers, from the manufacturer to a market, customer or final point of distribution.What is a freight forwarder?
A freight forwarder is a person or a company that handles all of the shipping logistics on clients’ behalf, dealing with tasks including but not limited to: cargo space booking, trucking, warehousing, negotiating freight charges, preparing and processing customs documentation, as well as other shipping associated documents, handling customs brokerage, cargo insurance, filing of insurance claim, etc.They have expertise in international logistics, and knowledge in preparing the required documents, access to shipping networks, to carry out the shipment. With the help of a freight forwarder, your shipments from China can be accelerated and your freight management made simple. Moreover, door-to-door shipping solution is made possible through their freight forwarding services, i.e. to have the goods delivered from the manufacturer to your named address, because airlines only ship your goods to airport, and sea carriers only deliver your containers to port or train station.
Shipping methods a freight forwarder can offer include sea, air, rail freight and sometimes express.
