Differences between local and international freight forwarding
Freight forwarding is nothing but the implementation of strategies and actions that are required and practised for efficient distribution of goods from one place to other.
To make this complex process simple and smooth, businesses approach third party logistics companies like Winsail to guide and help them in freight forwarding goods or any shipments to their clients or customers.
A freight forwarding company has all the process planned and set to enable the distribution of goods without any error or delay. Also, the strategic team plans out the best options to manage the supply chain to maintain the efficiency of the business.
Logistic service can be broadly defined in two ways; domestic and international.
What is a domestic and international freight forwarding
Domestic freight forwarding is nothing but the distribution of goods or consignment within a country of both shipper/business and receiver. On the other hand, the goods are distributed beyond the boundaries. Shipper from one country with the help of 3PL companies move the goods to another country where the receiver resides.
Let us compare the different aspects that concern both domestic and international logistics.

Transportation In domestic freight forwarding, various transportation options are used to move the goods to the receiver. Mostly it is road transport that is chosen for this task. But in case there is a time deadline, flights are used.
In international freight forwarding, there are limitations on the mode of transportation, depending on the point of destination.
Some may be transported by rail only, by flight, by sea, or a combination of these for a single transaction.
