Reading Time: 4 Min.
Understanding the roles of freight forwarders and Importers of Record (IORs) can simplify the complexities of international trade. While IORs and freight forwarders both play vital roles in shipping, they have distinct functions that set them apart.
Freight forwarders are crucial players in international logistics, but they aren’t a catch-all solution for your global shipping needs.
In contrast, specialists like TecEx offer customized shipping solutions that encompass everything from HS code classification and trade compliance to established carrier networks and liability cover. However, it’s worth noting that freight forwarders seldom provide specialized import services.
