A freight forwarder is a third party freight shipping logistics provider. The freight forwarder is very important for companies that need to import or export freight internationally or multi-nationally. Freight forwarders dispatch freight shipments through carriers - by air, sea, truck or rail - and also arranges space for those shipments.
It's important to know that the freight forwarder doesn't move the freight but sends products from one international destination to another. This can be an intricate process that often involves a multitude of carriers, requirements and legalities.
