Frequently Asked Questions

Is It Cheaper to Use a Freight Forwarder?
In many cases, yes. The value comes from planning, not just pricing. Freight forwarders reduce total landed cost by optimizing routing, consolidating shipments, and avoiding delays, rehandling, and documentation errors.
What Documents Are Required for International Shipping?
Typically, a commercial invoice, packing list, and a transport document such as a Bill of Lading or Air Waybill. Additional certificates or permits may be required depending on the cargo and destination.
Who Is Considered a Freight Forwarder?
A freight forwarder is the party responsible for organizing and controlling shipment execution across one or more transport modes, even if they do not physically move the cargo themselves.
Which Method of Shipping Is the Cheapest?
There is no single cheapest method in all cases. Ocean freight is generally the most economical for large or non-urgent shipments, but the lowest total cost depends on shipment timing, structure, and routing strategy.
What Does a Freight Forwarder Actually Do?
A freight forwarder manages the planning and execution of an international shipment from origin to destination. This includes selecting the route and carrier, coordinating consolidation or full loads, handling shipping documentation, supporting customs processes where required, arranging insurance options, and monitoring the shipment through delivery. While the shipper provides accurate cargo and commercial data, the freight forwarder controls execution, visibility, and issue resolution throughout the shipment lifecycle.
What Is Freight Forwarding?
Freight forwarding is the professional coordination and management of international cargo transport on behalf of a shipper. A freight forwarder plans routes, selects carriers, manages shipping documentation, and oversees cross-border execution. Freight forwarders typically do not own aircraft, vessels, or trucks. Their role is to organize, control, and optimize the movement of goods across one or more transport modes.
What Is the Difference Between a Freight Forwarder and a Carrier?
A carrier is the party that physically operates the transport asset, such as an aircraft, vessel, or truck. A freight forwarder does not usually own these assets. Instead, the freight forwarder plans the shipment, books carriers, manages documentation, and controls execution across the entire journey, acting as the operational link between shipper, carrier, and destination.
