Getting right consultation from a reliable freight forwarder is the best decision any importer or exporter can make because it will save both importers and exporters from having issues.

Functions of freight forwarding company as consultant:

Handling shipping process with ease
As a professional freight forwarder, I understand the stress involved in handling movement of goods from one place to another. Freight forwarders understand the best ways to handle or collect goods from shippers’ warehouses and factories. At times, freight forwarders will need to instruct shippers to adhere to certain instructions before they could arrange collections. When shippers or manufacturers handle the shipping process, most times, there is always a problem either from port of origin or destination. I have experienced several issues, those importers and exporters abandon goods worth thousands of dollars in seaports and airports. The issues may be wrong declarations on shipping documents or packing issues that the customs or any agencies will need to seize or destroy the items.

Negotiating Best price for clients as Freight Forwarder
One of the factors that importers and exporters consider in choosing their freight forwarder is pricing structures. Importers and exporters will first check the price before other factors like competence, integrity and expertise. Freight Forwarding will check, compare and negotiate prices from airlines and shipping lines. They will advise on the best options to choose. Lower prices do not mean faster services in terms of handling and delivery.

Advice on best shipping method for importers and Exporters
Freight Forwarders understand the shipping industry and its markets. When a client approaches a good freight forwarder with some shipping details, the best methods will help in cost effectiveness. There are some shipments that shippers may think sea shipping using Less container load is the best whereas, air freight lifting should have been the best maybe due to documentation process costs or the customs clearance cost in Nigeria seaports.

Handling Customs Documentation process
Every shipment whether export or import requires a customs documentation process. Freight Forwarder understands the best way to handle all documents issuance. To avoid frustration in shipping, you need the services of a freight forwarding company to handle all documents.
