The expansion of international trade and the development of different modes of transport over the years that followed enlarged the scope of his services. Today, a freight forwarder plays an important role in international trade and transport. The services that a freight forwarder renders may often range from routine and basic tasks such as the booking of space or customs clearance to a comprehensive package of services covering the total transportation and distribution process. It is usually the freight forwarder who undertakes on the consignor’s behalf to process the movement of goods through the various stages involved. The freight forwarder may provide these services directly or through sub-contractors or other agencies employed by him. He is also expected to utilize, in this connection, the services of his overseas agents. 二、The forwarders, on behalf of the consignor Choose the route, mode of transport, and a suitable carrier Book space with the selected carrier Take delivery of the goods and issue relevant documents Study the provisions of the L/C and all government regulations applicable to the shipment of goods in the country of export
