The new cross-border companies to enter the industry are not clear about the services provided by the freight forwarding company, the main services provided by the freight forwarding company are transportation, warehousing, virtual overseas warehouse, customs clearance, door-to-door delivery, etc., the specific services are as follows!
1.Traffic service
The cargo transport company is a "non-vessel carrier", indicating that the freight forwarding company is the intermediary between the shipping company and the cross-border seller, but because the freight forwarding company has certain qualifications, it can directly sign a contract with the shipping company and obtain a fixed space。Many multinational sellers want to contact the shipping company directly, although the price of the shipping company is cheap, but the requirement of high cargo capacity, does not meet a certain standard, or find a freight forwarding company is more cost-effective。
2.Storage service
Because the shipping date and flight are fixed, there will be a certain delay in the peak season, so the powerful freight forwarder will provide warehousing services。If the seller delivers the goods in advance, the goods will be temporarily stored in the domestic warehouse。If the seller needs overseas warehouse for transit or return and replacement services, the logistics provider can provide overseas warehouse services。The biggest advantage of the freight forwarding company is whether it can provide warehouse receipt service。
3.Virtual overseas warehouse
A "virtual overseas warehouse" is a more special existence, where local shipments are displayed on the platform, but are actually shipped to the destination country。Local shipments need to be connected to the storage system in the local area, and such operations need to be completed by overseas warehouses or freight forwarding companies cooperating with overseas warehouses。
4.Double clean door
Many people do not understand what "double clearance to the door" means, double clearance refers to customs clearance service, to the door is to pick up goods, to the door service。However, the customs clearance business of many freight forwarding companies is to cooperate with the customs clearance company, when the seller can not contact a reliable customs clearance company or the goods are less, the choice of double customs clearance service is the most appropriate。
