2. Scale and establishment date of freight forwarding company

When choosing a freight forwarding company, it is necessary to know the scale and history of the logistics company, which reflect the business capability of the company to some extent.

3. The forwarder's professionalism

A freight forwarder needs to be familiar with the route, the location of the port, the transfer place and so on. At present, the modes of transport include air transport, shipping, rail transport, land transport and so on. The freight forwarder should be able to recommend suitable logistics channels and modes of transport according to the characteristics of the goods. A professional forwarder needs to understand the customs policy of the destination port and be familiar with the rules and policies of international transportation.
