Forwarding Operations refers to the job of a forwarder that acts on behalf of importers, exporters or other companies or persons, organising the safe, efficient and cost-effective transportation of goods. A forwarder is a person or company that organises shipments for individuals or corporations to get goods from the manufacturer or producer to a market, customer or final point of distribution. A forwarder does not move the goods but acts as an expert in supply chain management. They arrange the best means of transport, with a contracted carrier, using the services from a variety of shipping providers, including ships, airplanes, trucks and freight trains. International freight forwarders have additional expertise in preparing and processing customs and other documentation and performing activities pertaining to international shipments. Information reviewed by a freight forwarder includes the commercial invoice, shipper's export declaration, bill of lading and other documents required by the carrier or country of export, import, and/or transhipment. The demands for qualified and experienced Forwarding Operations personnel are presently high and may increase in the near future. Thus, the development of this NOSS is essential for the industry to have certain guidelines and standards based on the level of competencies that have been set by the industrial experts in this field.
