Freight Forwarding in Australia – What It Is and Why You Need One

Confused about what a freight forwarder actually does?
You're not alone — here's what you need to know.

A freight forwarder helps manage the movement of your goods from your supplier overseas to your door in Australia. They:

• Book space on ships or planes

• Coordinate LCL/FCL containers

• Manage pickup, loading, and export clearance

• Help track shipments and handle delivery after customs

They don’t clear your goods through customs (your broker does that), but they often work closely together.

Why It Matters:
Without a freight forwarder, you're left managing international transport, port coordination, and carrier delays alone.
