Freight forwarding is the coordination and logistics of moving goods from one place to another. It involves the management of the movement of goods, including packing, labeling, transportation, storage, and insurance, from the point of origin to the final destination. Freight forwarders act as intermediaries between shippers and carriers, negotiating rates, arranging transportation, and handling paperwork and customs clearance. They may specialize in specific types of cargo, such as refrigerated goods or oversized items, or serve a variety of industries, including e-commerce, manufacturing, and retail. Effective freight forwarding requires strong relationships with carriers, accurate tracking and communication, and attention to detail to ensure timely and cost-effective delivery of goods.
