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: 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: 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.
