What is a freight forwarder and how is it different from a courier?

While couriers are commonly used for straightforward domestic or regional shipments, freight forwarders are best for complex global shipments – especially for industrial and commercial cargo. 

Freight forwarders can manage the entire logistics process from pickup to delivery, including booking sea or air freight, preparing import/export documents, handling customs clearance, and coordinating local delivery. They are ideal for businesses shipping goods internationally or needing end-to-end logistics support.

If you’re in need of a trusted freight forwarder to handle your shipments, contact ICPI.
