Frequently asked

Freight Forwarding questions

What is freight forwarding?

Freight forwarding is the planning and coordination of cargo movement between origin and destination using carriers and logistics partners. It may include routing, booking, documentation, shipment updates and coordination with customs and local delivery providers.

Is a freight forwarder the same as a carrier?

No. A freight forwarder typically coordinates transportation with carriers rather than operating every vehicle, vessel or aircraft used for the shipment.

Can a freight forwarder arrange customs clearance?

A forwarder can coordinate with a licensed customs broker and share shipment documents, while customs accounting is completed through the appropriate brokerage process.
