AIR FREIGHT MOVING SERVICE

What Is Air Freight Forwarding?

To start, a freight forwarder is simply an individual or organization that exports and imports cargo from an origin point to its destination anywhere in the world. With that said, an air freight forwarder utilizes this same method by using different modes of transport such as aircraft cargo carriers.

Freight forwarders provide assistance in a supportive capacity to ensure every facet of your shipment is simplified. Additionally, they may act as a point of communication between you and any other moving parts during the air freight forwarding process.

It’s not as simple as placing your goods on a plane and sending it off. Exporting and importing goods across borders requires deep knowledge and understanding of international laws, logistics, and paperwork to get things going. This is where we come in.

This specialization enables us to better understand the intricacies of air freight, create and maintain a relationship with the TSA, and, in many cases, provide better air rates.
