What is Freight forwarder?
A freight forwarder arranges your cargo's whole journey — booking space with carriers, handling export and import documentation, clearing customs and delivering to your door — without owning vessels or aircraft itself. Good forwarders earn their margin by consolidating volume and catching paperwork errors before they become demurrage. Get quotes from two forwarders plus your agent's bundled rate on every significant shipment; the spread is often larger than importers expect.
