2The Elements of Air Freight Forwarding
- An international freight forwarders service is
employed by companies that frequently deal in
international importing and exporting. While a
forwarder does not physically move materials and
products, they act as a broker between the
importer or exporter and an array of carriers who
specialize in moving goods. Most businesses do
not have access to the vast network of cargo
transportation professionals on the market, and
can take advantage of a freight broker's contacts
and expertise to streamline their logistics
processes and reduce shipping costs.
3Though it may seem fairly simple, shipping a
product from one country to another is a process
latent with obstacles. Shipping internationally
often involves a relay team of different
carriers, each of which must be managed
separately from requesting bids, to payment.
Should anything ever go wrong with your shipment,
your forwarder will be your single point of
contact. Having planned the shipment for the most
efficient route possible, your broker will be
tracking the shipment and know just what to do
and who to speak with to prevent stalls or delays
in the shipping process. An experienced forwarder
manages thousands of successful shipments every
year. They work constantly to refine their
process, achieving dramatic cost savings for
their clients.
4Logistics also requires strict adherence to U.S.
Customs and Border Control regulations and
legalities. A forwarder is an expert in the
customs process, making sure the cargo you are
importing or exporting has all the necessary
documentation to clear customs, and will not be
held up at port for weeks or potentially, months.
To the uninitiated, managing this process can be
a tiresome burden, that often leaves their goods
stranded at customs. This is why so many
businesses are taking advantage of a
International Freight Forwarders services to
outsource this process.
