Document background
The Freight Forwarding Agreement is a crucial commercial contract used when a business needs to engage professional logistics services for the transportation and handling of goods. This agreement, governed by Indian law, establishes the legal framework for the relationship between the freight forwarder and the client, detailing services ranging from transportation coordination to customs clearance. It's particularly relevant in India's growing international trade context, where businesses increasingly rely on specialized logistics providers. The document addresses key aspects such as service scope, liability limitations, insurance requirements, and compliance with Indian customs and transportation regulations, while incorporating international shipping standards. It's essential for businesses engaged in regular shipping activities, whether domestic or international, and provides the necessary legal protection for both parties while ensuring operational clarity.
