What does an international freight forwarder do?
A forwarder coordinates cross-border transport: carrier selection, bookings, documentation, customs coordination, insurance, and door-to-door delivery.
How is a freight forwarder different from a customs broker?
Forwarders move goods. Customs brokers clear them through CBP. Sams coordinates both functions under one program, with clearance through licensed customs broker partners.
