3. Responsibilities Of The Forwarding Company
Forwarding companies have a lot of responsibilities. That is why I would like to start revealing you the most consequential ones:
- Transportation and delivery of the cargo to the carrier- he is facilitating the export of merchandise;
- Accurately prepares the EEI record based on provided information;
- Obtains copy of the EEI record;
- To Obtain a power of attorney;
- Maintain a documentation to support the information required on the EEI record;
- Export authorization;
On the other hand, the freight forwarder shall keep a record, and that includes:
- CFR15 Section 762.2– setting forth the legal requirements for the records(five years from transaction date);
- Section 762.3– setting forth the types of records that are determined with the record keeping procedures;
I do believe that this will give you a better picture about freight forwarders.
