Freight Forwarders

An international freight forwarder is an individual or company that books or otherwise arranges space for shipments between countries via common carriers. Freights forwarders do not ship cargo themselves but instead arrange for its carriage by others. International freight forwarders also prepare and process the documentation and perform related activities pertaining to their shipments. Some of the typical information reviewed by a freight forwarder is the commercial invoice, shipper's export declaration, and other documents required by the carrier or country of export, import, or transshipment. Much of this information is now processed in a paperless environment.
