Freight forwarding is a service that acts as an intermediary between clients involved in international import and export and various transportation carriers. Freight forwarders are responsible for ensuring products reach their destination on time and in good condition by utilizing established relationships with air, truck, rail, and ocean carriers. They negotiate prices to move products along economical routes balancing speed, cost and reliability. Key factors for freight forwarders include expertise, customization, flexibility, reliability, meeting deadlines, international presence, quality certification, experience, company size, access to information technology, competitive prices, and minimizing taxes.
Freight forwarders coordinate complex logistics activities involved in cargo shipping, including arranging transportation, handling documentation and payments, and providing recommendations to clients on cost-effective shipping options. They negotiate rates for inland and ocean shipping, offer cargo custody and control during transit, and assist with various export documents. Freight forwarders essentially serve as logistics managers and advisors for cargo moving between overseas locations.

Near Field Communication (NFC) is a short-range wireless technology that allows communication between devices within 10 cm of each other. NFC operates at 13.56 MHz and transmission rates ranging from 106-424 Kbit/s. NFC supports both active and passive communication modes. Potential applications of NFC include contactless payments, data sharing, and device configuration. While security threats are present with NFC, establishing a secure channel can protect against eavesdropping and data modification attacks. NFC is expected to transform everyday tasks and be widely adopted in the future.
