International freight forwarding FAQs
Quick answers about working with an international freight forwarder.
What does an international freight forwarder do?
An international freight forwarder arranges the movement of goods across borders for the shipper. It books space with ocean carriers, airlines and trucking companies, coordinates the shipping documents and customs clearance, and manages the shipment from pickup to delivery. Faster Freight does this for ocean, air and domestic freight from its headquarters in Florida.
Which shipping modes does Faster Freight handle?
We handle ocean freight in full containers (FCL) and shared containers (LCL), standard and priority air freight, and domestic FTL and LTL trucking, including routes to Canada and Mexico. We also arrange door-to-door shipping, heavy equipment shipping and international boat shipping.
Does Faster Freight handle customs clearance?
Yes. We coordinate customs clearance for your shipment and help you prepare the documents it needs, such as the commercial invoice and packing list. The customs entries themselves are filed by our licensed partner customs brokers.
What information do I need for a freight quote?
Have the origin and destination (addresses, or ports and airports), a description of the cargo, the dimensions and weight of each piece, the number of pieces and the date the cargo will be ready. If your sales contract names an Incoterms® rule, such as FOB or DAP, include that too.
How long does international shipping take?
It depends on the mode, the route, carrier schedules and how quickly customs clears the cargo. Air freight is usually the fastest option, while ocean freight is usually the most economical for heavy or bulky cargo. When you request a quote, ask for the estimated transit time on your route.
Should I ship FCL or LCL?
LCL (less than container load) means you pay for the space your cargo uses in a shared container, which suits smaller shipments. FCL (full container load) gives you a whole 20ft or 40ft container, which usually becomes better value as your cargo gets close to filling one and keeps it in a single sealed container. If you are unsure, ask for both options in your quote.
