It refers to an industry in which international freight forwarding organizations accept the entrustment of consignors and consignors of import and export goods, handle international freight transportation and related business for customers in their own names, and collect labor remuneration.
With the development of international trade and transportation mode, international freight forwarders have penetrated into all fields of international trade and become an indispensable part of international trade. With the rapid development of market economy, the social division of labor is becoming more and more clear. A single trade operator or a single transport operator does not have enough strength to handle every specific business personally. They need to entrust agents to handle a series of business procedures for them, so as to achieve their respective purposes.
