Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Freight forwarding is the strategic planning and coordination of the international movement of goods. A freight forwarder acts as an intermediary between a company (the shipper) that needs to transport goods and the various transportation services (carriers) that will physically move them.

Here's a step-by-step look at how the process works:

Export Haulage: Goods are moved from the manufacturer's location to the freight forwarder's warehouse or the port/airport of origin.
Export Customs Clearance: The freight forwarder or a customs broker handles the preparation and submission of all necessary paperwork to clear the goods for export from the country of origin.
Origin Handling: The goods are unloaded, inspected for damage, and prepared for their journey. Shipments may be consolidated.
Main Transportation: The goods are transported via air, sea, rail, or road. The freight forwarder tracks the shipment.
Import Customs Clearance: Upon arrival, the freight forwarder manages clearance, documentation, and duty payments.
Destination Handling: The goods are unloaded and prepared for final delivery.
Import Haulage: Final transport to the end customer or warehouse.
The primary types of freight transportation are:

Air Freight: Fastest option, ideal for time-sensitive or high-value shipments.
Sea Freight: Most economical for large, bulky, or non-urgent shipments.
Land Freight: Flexible and reliable for domestic or regional delivery.
Multimodal Transport: Combines multiple methods (e.g., sea + rail) under one contract to optimize cost and speed.
No, freight forwarding and a 3PL (Third-Party Logistics) are not the same.

Freight Forwarder: Specializes in the coordination of international shipments, managing carrier selection, customs clearance, and documentation.
3PL: Provides end-to-end logistics including warehousing, inventory management, fulfillment, and transportation.

In short, a freight forwarder focuses on transportation, while a 3PL handles the entire supply chain.
Freight forwarding can be categorized by transport mode:

Air Freight Forwarding: Fast and ideal for urgent or high-value goods.
Sea Freight Forwarding: Cost-effective for large or non-urgent cargo.
Road Freight Forwarding: Flexible, great for domestic and short-haul deliveries.
Rail Freight Forwarding: Efficient for long-distance, heavy cargo on land.
Multimodal Freight Forwarding: Uses multiple transport types under a single contract for efficiency.
No, a freight forwarder does not typically own the ships, planes, or trucks used for transportation. Instead, they coordinate with carriers to book space and arrange the movement of your cargo.
A freight forwarder's key services include:

• Arranging transportation via air, sea, rail, or road.
• Preparing and managing shipping/customs documentation.
• Handling customs clearance and duties.
• Negotiating freight rates and optimizing routes.
• Offering cargo insurance.
• Tracking and monitoring shipments.
• Consolidating shipments to reduce costs.
Using a freight forwarder saves time and money by leveraging their expertise in international logistics. They help avoid delays, negotiate better rates, and ensure compliance with customs regulations—letting you focus on your core business.
A freight forwarding company handles the logistics so you can focus on growth. With a single point of contact, simplified operations, and consistent service, you’ll have more time to invest in sales, production, and customer relationships.
