LOGISTICS
What is International Freight Forwarding? Freight forwarding involves strategic logistics planning and execution for the international shipment of goods on behalf of customers. A freight forwarder carries out tasks such as customs clearance, container tracking, documentation, and freight consolidation among other tasks.
Freight forwarders are often referred to as “travel agents for cargo” or “architects of transport” within the industry. These descriptions accurately capture their role. Like travel agents, forwarders schedule and coordinate trips for cargo, ensuring all necessary documentation is in place for a smooth journey. They are like architects, mapping out the flow of products and information within complex supply chains. In summary, freight forwarding encompasses the scheduling, coordination, and documentation of intermodal transportation for cargo on behalf of shippers.
