What a freight forwarder can do for you

The role of a freight forwarder is to help importers and exporters transport their goods.

The freight forwarder's core responsibilities

Most freight forwarders are likely to specialise in particular service areas, modes of transport or markets. Freight forwarders are often seen as the travel agents of international trading. If you have a consignment of goods you need to move from country A to country B, a forwarder will identify and book the best routes, modes of transport and specific carriers for you dependent on your requirements. Many transport and logistics operators also offer freight-forwarding services. Using a forwarder can cut your costs. Because they arrange for the transport of huge numbers of consignments, they can consolidate loads going to a single destination to keep freight charges down for individual traders. However, as with most business transactions, you should compare prices from a range of suppliers to find the best level of cost and service for you.

Other services freight forwarders provide

Freight forwarders typically offer a wide range of secondary trade-related services as well as their core transport ones.

These include:

  • customs clearance - forwarders can complete customs paperwork on your behalf, and pay any taxes or duties owed

  • other documentation issues - eg Bills of Lading, or any documents required by banks before payment is released

  • insurance - many forwarders will be able to supply insurance services

  • inventory management

  • logistics and supply-chain management of value-added activities


    • Bear in mind that you'll also be able to use your forwarder as a valuable source of information and advice about the international trading process. This can be particularly useful for businesses that are new to international trade. For example, you can ask a forwarder as part of your contract to help you ensure your goods are properly packaged and labelled for export.

    Finding and choosing a freight forwarder

    As with all aspects of international trade, it pays to do your research before choosing a freight forwarder to look after the transportation of your goods. Draw up a shortlist of at least three and compare them before selecting one.

    How to find freight forwarders

    There are many bodies that can help you search for freight forwarders, including:
  • experienced exporters - preferably those in your sector, whose freight needs are likely to be similar to yours

  • your trade association - it should be very familiar with the freight needs of businesses in your sector


    • Bear in mind that while there's a relatively small number of major global freight-forwarding companies, there are thousands of smaller specialist operators.

    How to choose a freight forwarder

    The most important factor in choosing your shortlist of freight forwarders should be their experience with the routes and goods your business deals with. For example, if you transport goods that need refrigerated containers, ask for references from businesses with similar needs.

    Other things you should find out about your shortlisted candidates include:

  • which ancillary services they can provide, and how they charge for them

  • how long they've been running and how well established they are - ask for references

  • how willing they are to explain the process to you as it unfolds - this can be a valuable learning opportunity if you're new to international trading

  • the overall cost for their services
