What is a freight forwarding company?

Freight forwarding companies provide a range of services, including freight transport, customs clearance, warehousing, and cargo tracking.

A freight forwarder is a third party logistics provider who coordinates the movement of goods from one point to another. A carrier is the company that physically moves the goods.

Freight forwarding companies operate in many countries around the world.

Freight forwarding companies can ship many types of goods, including industrial, commercial, and personal shipments.

Documents such as an air waybill, bill of lading, and packing list are typically required for freight forwarding services.

The cost of freight forwarding services depends on the size, weight, and destination of the shipment.

Transit time depends on the method of transport and the destination. Generally, transit time is between 1-5 days for air freight, 5-10 days for sea freight, and 2-4 days for road freight.
