What a Freight Forwarder does for you

The first thing that happens when you contact a Montreal freight forwarding company is, you’ll receive a quote. They must provide the rate for international shipping, any carrier charges, insurance, forwarding and duty fees.

Any quality freight forwarder will justify their choices when it comes to timelines, any transfers and methods of transportation. Legalities matter and a freight forwarder understands the nuances of import/export regulations and customs law, you should expect advice on specific laws for your cargo.

Requesting our Montreal freight forwarding service guarantees top-tier coordination with our carriers, reliable confirmation of amounts, complete documentation and any specialized packaging needs.
