Description
Freight forwarders and customs house brokers are an essential part of the process of exporting products and materials overseas. The IWS Directory of Freight Forwarders and Customs House Brokers explains the role of freight forwarders and customs house brokers and how to work effectively with them.
IN THIS BOOK YOU’LL FIND FREIGHT FORWARDERS who will handle the shipping of your exports and imports. For a nominal fee they will arrange the transportation of your products by land, sea, or air from the loading dock of your supplier to the factory or warehouse of your buyer. They take the worry out of getting your exports or imports from where they are to where they are wanted. For fastest results, start with a freight forwarder near you. If there are none in your area, try one in a nearby large city. The freight forwarder handles many of your documents as part of their standard fee.
A CUSTOMS HOUSE BROKER is an individual or firm licensed by Customs to enter and clear goods on behalf of others through Customs, as those items are moved from one country t o another. In most countries, specific customs requirements must be met. This work is usually performed for a nominal fee.
YOU DO NOT HAVE FILL OUT A LOT OF FORMS and supply technical documentation yourself. You just supply the name and address of the firm to whom the products are being shipped (in the case of exports from your country to another country), or from whom they are being obtained (imports into your country from another country), plus information on the items that are being shipped-the name (for example an electric motor), the number, how much each weighs, and their value. Then the Custom House Broker takes over and fills out the needed forms.
The IWS Directory of Freight Forwarders and Customs House Brokers comes with the OCEAN FREIGHT FORWARDERS DIRECTORY 2022-2023, which includes the Federal Maritime Commission Ocean Transportation Intermediaries Database of More than 3,000 Freight Forwarders and Customs House Brokers with Offices in the United States (Edited by S. David Hicks).
