Freight forwarding companies are intermediary service providers that connect cargo owners with carriers (such as shipping lines, airlines, and logistics companies). They help clients transport goods across national or regional borders by integrating transportation resources and coordinating logistics processes. Beyond basic transportation, freight forwarders offer value-added services like customs clearance, warehousing, insurance, and supply chain management, aiming to optimize logistics efficiency and reduce clients’ transportation costs.
