1. The freight forwarder is a freight forwarder, not the actual carrier of the shipping company. 2. Freight forwarding, logistics (third party), and freight companies are essentially the same. 3. Freight forwarding is different from shipping agency. Shipping agency can handle booking, signing, changing orders, releasing boxes, etc. on behalf of the shipping company. 4. Freight forwarding is divided into first-level and second-level. First-level freight forwarders have US dollar invoices, but second-level freight forwarders do not and must Go to the IRS to issue an invoice. 5. First-class freight forwarders can book space directly with shipping companies, but they are not necessarily qualified to book space. Many shipping companies only designate a few freight forwarders as booking portals. So it's not that level one is what it is. . . . Most first-class shipping companies can only have booking rights for a few shipping companies. 6. A first-class freight forwarder with booking rights does not necessarily get good prices and services. In many cases, the booking freight forwarder has to get the price and space from the freight forwarder (other first-class or second-class) who booked the space through it. . 7. It is normal for freight forwarders to be affiliated. It does not mean that all affiliated companies have no strength, so don’t just rely on which freight forwarder is affiliated. Of course, if you are affiliated, don’t keep saying that we are first-class. Offices are affiliated, and they are affiliated. Also, don’t just think that we are the first-level ones. The first-level ones may not necessarily be capable, but the second-level ones should not think that they have some connections and do whatever they want. Oh, haha, cargo owners who understand clearly value whether you are a suitable freight forwarder for them. 8. The freight forwarders at the ports (Shanghai, Ningbo) are not necessarily first-generation freight forwarders. More than 90% of the port freight forwarders are also second-generation freight forwarders without booking rights, so don’t think that the freight forwarders at the ports are just as good as they are. 9. The main work of a freight forwarder is booking space, customs declaration, trucking and other work. It cannot do everything. 10. The customs declaration does not have to be a customs broker (company). A freight forwarder can also apply. Some freight forwarders only do customs declaration and other things. He doesn’t do things! 11. The cargo owner must book space with the shipping company through the freight forwarder. After the shipping company takes the order from your cargo owner, it will ultimately be done through the freight forwarder. 12. LCL booking is not made with the shipping company, but through the freight forwarding company. , Shipping companies generally do not accept LCL, so the LCL bill of lading is generally not the shipping company's bill of lading. 13. NVOCCs and first-class freight forwarders are essentially the same. The former is approved by the Ministry of Transport, while the latter is approved by Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation. The former can issue ocean freight invoices, while the latter can only use agency invoices. Both can issue invoices in US dollars. But if both are possible, then you can only choose one. 14. The two brands of Non-Ship and First Generation can be owned by the same company at the same time, so we often see which freight companies are both First Generation and Non-Ship. 15. Choosing a freight forwarder mainly depends on its service. Service is the key point, and of course the price. Hope it's cheap, cheap and good. Basic concepts of freight forwarding 1.
