Freight Forwarding 101
A freight forwarder arranges transport, consolidation, customs clearance and delivery on your behalf. Think of them as your logistics partner from the Chinese supplier to your door.
They can consolidate multiple suppliers into one shipment, pre-clear customs and add insurance — things a single carrier will not do for you.
- Consolidation lowers per-kilo cost.
- DDP removes surprise fees at delivery.
- Inspection before shipping reduces risk.
