What to know about Freight forwarders
A freight forwarder organises the international movement of goods: booking space on a ship or aircraft, consolidating cargo, arranging transport at both ends, and assembling the documents that let the shipment travel. Forwarders are not carriers, and in Australia they are not automatically customs brokers either. That second distinction catches out more first-time importers than anything else.
