Freight forwarding companies are companies that provide services in the international transport of goods. They are intermediaries between the exporter or importer and the transport companies.

Freight forwarders are mediators in international transport operations by any means of transport and are responsible for managing the transport of goods moving through the territory between the customs office of departure (country of origin), the customs office of entry (country of destination) and the intermediate offices, if any.

Sea, land or air transport are the three possibilities that exist in the world of freight transport.

The reasons why freight forwarding companies are so important in international trade is because they have a wide knowledge of the operations related to the transport of goods; and also at a legal level.
