What is freight forwarder?

The international freight forwarder is popularly known as the “Transport Architect”. Companies operating in China in this industry would have needed to obtain the business license “International Freight Certificate of Approval“ which is issued by the Chinese Ministry of Commerce before 2005.

Hebei Modern Logistic Company Limited obtained this approval license in 2000 and our company was officially established.

The professional forwarder is also aware of the ever-changing regulations affecting cargo movements such as foreign documentation requirements, hazardous materials rules, provisions of the Chinese government and other Import and Export Countries on Import and Export Trade, and any applicable licensing provisions.

”Customized” service to fit clients operational needs, are the forwarder’s specialty.  Forwarders coordinate arrangements for storage, pick-and-pack operations, consolidation of full-container movements as well as inland transportation to provide clients with true door-to-door service.  Our responsibilities range from assisting with initial quotations or preparation of pro-forma invoices, to the banking of clients’ documents for collection.  The local full service, professional freight forwarder is the most reliable partner one can have in international trade.

The freight forwarding professional advises the client of the best rates, routing and modes of transporting goods to or from any area in the world.  Using the resources at their disposal, forwarders find the “right match” of services available so that products are moved by the most timely and cost effective means.  The large volume of freight handled by forwarders gives them advantages not always available to either individual.
