CLEARING & FORWARDING
Clearing and forwarding are essential aspects of international trade and logistics. They involve the process of ensuring that goods move smoothly through customs clearance and are transported from their point of origin to their destination. Both clearing and forwarding are usually handled by professionals or companies with expertise in customs regulations, documentation, transportation, and logistics coordination.
