What is the difference between a forwarder/carrier and the NWNS solution?
The difference is significant. A carrier or forwarder simply handles the physical movement (transportation) of the goods from origin to destination – they will not act as local consignee/IOR and will therefore assume no compliance risk and responsibility.
Freight forwarders and carriers are not IT hardware compliance experts and cannot provide import compliance expertise specific to the country you are importing into. If your goods get stuck in customs, the forwarder/carrier cannot assist you, leaving you at the mercy of customs authorities.
NWNS and its partners can manage transportation for you as part of an end-to- end service but can also partner with any carriers/forwarders to provide a complete service – that is a door-to-door solution.
