Example careers

Acting on behalf of their clients (usually importers), a licensed customs broker manages the border clearance process for cargo. This includes ensuring compliance with the laws of different countries, and advising clients on a range of technical matters such as biosecurity and import permits.

An international freight forwarder is often called an 'Architect of Transport' because of the range of services they provide, including cargo tracking, inland transportation, preparation of shipping and export documents, warehousing, negotiating freight charges, booking cargo space, with designated carriers, consolidating freight, and insuring cargo.

Also known as the 'seller' in an international trade transaction, an exporter is an individual or company that sends merchandise or commodities from one country to another for use or sale.

Also known as the 'buyer' in an international trade transaction, an importer is at the receiving end of the global supply chain. They take delivery of merchandise or commodities imported from a foreign country for use, sale or processing in the receiving country.
