What is the difference between a freight forwarder and a customs broker?
A freight forwarder arranges the transport and paperwork for your shipment. A customs broker is licensed by Indian Customs to file customs declarations. Jay Ambe Logistics coordinates both: we forward your freight and manage clearance, with filings made by licensed customs broker partners.
| Freight forwarder | Customs broker | |
|---|---|---|
| Main job | Moves your cargo from origin to destination | Files customs declarations |
| Works with | Shipping lines, airlines, truckers, CFSs | Customs authorities, ICEGATE |
