A freight forwarder, forwarder, or forwarding agent is a person or company that organizes

shipments for individuals or other companies and may also act as a carrier.[1][2][3] A forwarder is
often not active as a carrier and acts only as an agent, in other words as a third-party (non-asset-
based) logistics provider that dispatches shipments via asset-based carriers and that books or
otherwise arranges space for these shipments. Carrier types include ships, airplanes, trucks,
and railroads.
Freight forwarders typically arrange cargo movement to an international destination. Also referred
to as international freight forwarders, they have the expertise that allows them to prepare and
process the documentation and perform related activities pertaining to international shipments.
Some of the typical information reviewed by a freight forwarder is the commercial
invoice, shipper's export declaration, bill of lading and other documents required by the carrier or
country of export, import, or transshipment. Much of this information is now processed in
apaperless environment.
The FIATA short-hand description of the freight forwarder as the 'Architect of Transport' illustrates
clearly the commercial position of the forwarder relative to his client. In Europe there are
forwarders that specialise in 'niche' areas such as Railfreight and collection and deliveries around
a large port. The latter are called Hafen(port) Spediteure (Port Forwarders). A forwarder in some
countries may sometimes deal only with domestic traffic and never handle international traffic.
(see also Forwarding Agent).

Letter of Credit - A standard, commercial letter of credit is a document issued mostly by

a financial institution, used primarily in trade finance, which usually provides an irrevocable
payment undertaking.The letter of credit can also be source of payment for a transaction,
meaning that redeeming the letter of credit will pay an exporter. Letters of credit are used
primarily in international trade transactions of significant value, for deals between a supplier in
one country and a customer in another. They are also used in the land development process to
ensure that approved public facilities (streets, sidewalks, storm water ponds, etc.) will be built.
The parties to a letter of credit are usually a beneficiary who is to receive the money, the issuing
bank of whom the applicant is a client, and the advising bank of whom the beneficiary is a client.
Almost all letters of credit are irrevocable, i.e., cannot be amended or canceled without prior
agreement of the beneficiary, the issuing bank and the confirming bank, if any. In executing a
transaction, letters of credit incorporate functions common to giros and Traveler's cheques.
Typically, the documents a beneficiary has to present in order to receive payment include
a commercial invoice, bill of lading, and documents proving the shipment was insured against
loss or damage in transit. However, the list and form of documents is open to imagination and
negotiation and might contain requirements to present documents issued by a neutral third party
evidencing the quality of the goods shipped, or their place of origin.

A bill of lading (sometimes referred to as a BOL,or B/L) is a document issued by a carrier to a

shipper, acknowledging that specified goods have been received on board as cargo
for conveyance to a named place for delivery to the consignee who is usually identified.
A thorough bill of lading involves the use of at least two different modes of transport from road,
rail, air, and sea. The term derives from the verb "to lade" which means to load a cargo onto a
ship or other form of transportation.
