This container transportation has redefined these services also it has emerged as very sophisticated logistic services. Freight forwarding agents specialize in the arranging of shipping and insurance, and many of them today arrange land, sea and air transportation for goods. They take a good deal of work off the exporters‟ shoulders. They follow all the formalities of documentation for customs clearance. They also look after the warehousing and carting of cargoes before shipment of export consignments and after discharge of import cargoes, by the sea carriers.
