Why Do We Require Iran Transit Forwarder?
Posted by Javaneh Mottaghi on November 25th, 2015
The freight forwarding industry can be complex, especially with all the processes involved in moving goods quickly and securely around the world. A transit forwarder can provide you with an extensive array of services to help you ease the burden of the many responsibilities of transporting your products and goods and doing so in the most affordable and cost-efficient means possible.
In addition to arranging the fast, safe, and efficient transport of your goods, whether it be by sea, air, rail, or road, Iran transit forwarders also offer other common services in other important areas of freight forwarding, including export/import documentation, customs clearance, and insurance. It is also not uncommon for these companies to provide services surrounding distribution, packaging, warehousing, and supply-chain tasks. Some forwarders will offer to take over a specific part of the import/export process for you while others can control the entire transport transaction to make your business deal as convenient as possible. Most freight forwarding services are also transport and logistics operators and custom brokers, giving them the ability to provide holistic services for traders.
The most important role that freight forwarders play is help importers and exporters transport and move their goods from one point to the next responsibly. Their core responsibility is to serve as knowledgeable travel agents in international trading. Freight forwarders tend to specialize in specific service areas, markets, and modes of transport, which is why it is important to find a company whose expertise can serve your needs the best. If you need to move a consignment of goods from your home country to another location (for instance, Iran), your freight forwarder will help you identify and even book the best modes of transport, routes, and carriers to help you send your goods to their destination in the fastest and most cost-efficient way.
Using the services of a transit forwarder can help you cut costs significantly. Because they manage and arrange transport for a great number of consignments from different clients, they have the ability to consolidate loads that are headed to a single destination, thus keeping freight charges down for their individual traders. This helps them pass on huge savings to clients and offer competitive rates versus other service providers. Other services that your transit forwarder may be able to provide include customs clearance, documentation, insurance, logistics and supply chain management, inventory management, and other value-added activities you might need to ensure efficient transport of your goods.
