A freight forwarder arranges international shipments on your behalf — booking ocean or air space, filing the Importer Security Filing (ISF) with US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), coordinating drayage from the port to your warehouse, and working with a licensed customs broker to clear your goods through customs. Many established forwarders hold both an FMC OTI (Ocean Transportation Intermediary) licence and a CBP customs broker licence, covering the full import cycle end-to-end.
Typical cost: LCL ocean freight on major US trade lanes typically runs $80–$180/CBM all-in. FCL rates for a 40ft container from China to a US West Coast port average $2,500–$5,000 in a normal market. Customs brokerage entry fees add $150–$350 per entry; ISF filing adds $30–$75.
Go to fmc.dot.gov and search by company name or OTI number to confirm their Federal Maritime Commission registration is active. For customs brokerage, search the CBP Broker Management lookup. Both checks take under two minutes and should be done before signing any service agreement.
For ocean LCL, expect $80–$180 per CBM depending on origin and market rates. For a 40ft FCL from Asia, $2,500–$5,000 all-in is a reasonable baseline in a normal freight market.

A freight forwarder acts as an agent arranging cargo transportation on behalf of shippers using carrier space they don't own. An NVOCC (Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier) issues its own bills of lading and contracts directly with ocean carriers, then sells space to shippers.
