Yes. If you have cargo at port, you need to choose a freight forwarder to handle it. By working with a network of different shipment options, freight forwarders make it much easier for you to transport your cargo.

A Freight Forwarder should be a problem solver. If something goes awry your cargo being mishandled, it will be swiftly and expertly handled.
This is a transparent business. Anyone can go online and find out the information on international shipping prices and the process of transporting cargo. A freight forwarder knows this information and gives it to you straight and consistently.
With their reliability comes a network of trusted partners. You cannot get a network in this profession unless you know people and they vouch for your character. A network is a must-have because this is how you establish trade relationships down the line.
A freight forwarder will give you advice. That doesn’t mean they will agree with you or give you compliments. It means they have seen everything in this market and they know what works and what doesn’t.
Because of their advice, experience, and network, they will save you time and money. That is ultimately the goal. You will not be spending your time finding and developing all these relationships when you are going to be building your business. Let the freight forwarder handle it.
