What are freight forwarders?

Freight forwarders organise the movement of goods around the world on behalf of an organisation or individual. Although this sounds simple, getting goods from A to B can be a complicated process. Therefore, it is the role of a freight forwarder to streamline this process as much as possible, making international shipping a painless experience

Freight forwarding companies do not necessarily own the vessels that transport cargo. These companies are known as non-vessel operating common carriers (NVOCC). Freight forwarders work with various sea carriers, air carriers, rail carriers, road carriers, and other services to transport goods, taking responsibility for the goods and dealing with issues relating to logistics and documentation. Often, they offer additional services for a smooth and seamless process that can deliver goods right up to their final point of sale.
