Services
Ghanaian Freight
forwarders provide a number of services. During the initial
planning phases of exporting we help decide:
Which carriers to use
Best days of the week to ship
The best route
The most economical shipment size
At the beginning of a sale, we also can provide the exporter
with a quotation on:
Freight costs
Port charges
Consular fees
Cost of special documentation
Insurance costs
Freight forwarder's fees especially at destination (if
required)
This information can be used in the preparation of an
accurate price quotation to foreign customers. At the
shipper's request, the freight forwarder can make the actual
arrangements and provide the necessary services for
expediting the shipment to its overseas destination.
This can include
Booking space with the carrier
Completing export documentation
Arranging for cargo insurance
Advising on foreign import regulations
Providing guidance on packaging, marking, and labeling
Arranging for products to be packed and containerized at
the exporter's request
