Freight forwarding is the management and synchronization of shipping and logistics procedures for the transportation of goods from one location to another. Freight forwarders act as a mediator between the shipper and various transportation providers, such as trucking companies, shipping lines, and airlines, to ensure that goods flows quickly and efficiently. They handle tasks include organizing cargo space, arranging for customs clearance, and keeping an eye on shipments to ensure they arrive on time. Companies who want to export goods overseas or domestically rely on freight forwarding services to manage the intricacies of regulatory compliance and streamline the shipment procedure.
