What are forwarding companies?

Freight forwarding companies are involved in the transportation of goods on behalf of importers and exporters. If you have freight to move internationally (see our international freight forwarders page here) a freight forwarder will identify the most appropriate routes, transport modes such as sea freight, air freight or for UK services road freight and specific carriers for your shipment. In addition, forwarders will also handle the necessary paper work and documentation dependent upon the type of commodity being shipped and the country of origin and destination.

Choosing a reliable forwarder

Although using freight forwarders to handle your shipments is a fairly straightforward process there are a couple of things to take into consideration.

Trade membership: Check to see if your forwarder is a member of trade associations such as BIFA, which is the freight forwarders UK trade association. Although not a legal requirement for a freight forwarding company, membership does indicate that the forwarder operates to particular standards associated with membership.

Insurance: Check the level of insurance provided by the freight forwarding company. If the cover is insufficient for the value of your consignment then you may want to consider an additional policy specific to that shipment.
