1.Why do you need a freight forwarder? How do you know if you need one?

Import and export business is an important part of international trade. For enterprises that need to expand their business and influence, international shipping can offer great convenience. Freight forwarders are the link between importers and exporters to make transportation easier for both sides.

Besides, if you are going to order products from factories and suppliers that do not provide shipping service, finding a freight forwarder could be a good option for you.

And if you do not have experience in importing goods, then you need a freight forwarder to guide you on how.

So, leave the professional tasks to the professionals.

4. What kind of documentation will a freight forwarder ask me for in order to help me get my product door to door?

The customs clearance requirements of each country are different. Usually, the most basic documents for customs clearance at the port of destination require our bill of lading, packing list and invoice to clear customs.

Countries in Central and South America need to make FROM F. Countries in Southeast Asia generally need to make FROM E.
