Freight Forwarding
As part of a network of international specialists, after gaining a full understanding of your business from which an integrated plan of action is developed, we can connect you with the right freight forwarders to take care of your transport needs. This may entail one or a number of providers, depending upon the required supply-chain structure, which will be dictated by a range of factors, not least the Customs strategy. This can be provided by one overall logistics provider, or we can connect you with separate forwarders as well as directly with transport businesses.
The key to a good freight is not just a low price, which of course is important, but what is the value of a low proce if you are never going to be paid for your goods, and will potentially never receive further contracts from that customer, if the goods never arrive, or arrive too late. Or, they arrive in a condition that makes they unfit for purpose. Communication is also key, as is the provision of the right documentation in order to main compliance in all markets for all parties concerned. This is a major issue with fast parcel operators, who often don’t facilitate the required compliance for their smaller customers in particular. This is often not understood by smaller businesses, that is until HMRC come knocking, on exporters doors, yet still it can prove extremely difficult to get the right information to adhere to compliance.
