Customs brokers are licensed professionals who handle the preparation and submission of customs documentation, ensuring that importers and exporters comply with regulations. Freight forwarders coordinate the end-to-end shipping process, organizing the transport of goods across various modes, including sea, air, and land. Together, they simplify complex logistics processes and ensure that goods are moved efficiently by submitting the relevant manifests to facilitate clearances in ports, warehouses, and scheduling trucking appointments to deliver goods to the designated consignee efficiently as well as to assign/authorize a trucking company responsible for the movement of the containers.
