Freight Forwarder

A freight forwarder arranges shipping and logistics for shippers. They coordinate transportation, handle documentation, and ensure goods reach their destination efficiently.

Freight forwarders handle tasks like booking cargo space, preparing shipping documents (such as bills of lading, commercial invoices, and packing lists), negotiating freight charges, and providing cargo insurance. They also offer advice on the best routes, monitor the cargo’s journey, and manage customs clearance.

Examples of significant instances include air freight, sea freight, rail freight, and road freight.
