    Industry Selected: Shipping Industry Category of the Industry: Freight Forwarders Review of literature
    Freight Forwarding Custom Clearance Transportation Freight forwarding A freight forwarder is a third party logistics provider. A third party logistics forwarder dispatches shipments via asset-based carriers and books or otherwise arranges space for those shipments. Carrier types include waterborne vessels, airplanes, trucks or railroads. Freight forwarders typically arrange cargo movement to an international destination. Also referred to as international freight forwarders, they have the expertise that allows them to prepare and process the documentation and perform related activities pertaining to international shipments. Some of the typical information reviewed by a freight forwarder is the commercial invoice, shipper's export declaration, bill of lading and other documents required by the carrier or country of export, import, or transshipment. Much of this information is now processed in a paperless environment.

    Custom Clearance It is a procedural activity which is performed by government personnel. The shipment has to clear all the norms of custom clearance. Custom clearance differs from country to country. Tariff classifications, value declaration, and duty management can increase costs. Customs and security initiatives have imposed new regulations on companies that make it more challenging than ever to trade internationally. Transportation It is the movement of people and goods from one location to another. Transport is performed by various modes, such as air, railroad, water, cable, pipeline and space. Infrastructure consists of the fixed installations necessary for transport, and may be roads, railways, airways, waterways, canals and pipelines, and terminals such as airports, railway stations, bus stations, warehouses and seaports.

    Statement of the problem:


    The goods are moved from the manufacturers to the customers/consumers by the freight forwarders with their effective utilization of the road/sea/air transportations. The key concept in freight forwarding is the delivery of the cargo till the destination point or at the doorsteps of the consignee. Most of the manufacturers are rely on international freight forwarders to perform the operations to bring the goods to their end users.
    The international freight forwarders act as bridge between the manufacturers/exporters to the destination of the consumers.

    This study is being conducted to limelight the problems faced by the freight forwarders whoever is involved towards the sea transportations. To identify and select the respondents in the study area Non-Probability sampling method will be employed and a well structured questionnaire will be used to gather the first-hand information. The questionnaire will covers information of various kinds of their personal, operations and the problems faced by them towards their operations.

    Research Questions/Hypothesis:
    We seek to answer the following research questions: How do they maintain relationships with shipping line and customers (exporters/importers) ? What are the service delivery offerings to the clients ? How do the freight forwarders develop and source new clients ? What are the problems and challenges they face in developing and maintaining new clients ?

    Why do clients leave a freight forwarder ? How are pricing decisions taken? What are service expectations of the clients ?

    Research Objective
