Freight forwarding is the process of acting on behalf of someone or a company that wants to import or export goods from one country to another. There are many companies in the world that deal in freight forwarding. 

For example, let's say you ordered 100 Calvin Klein dresses from my business, Closeout Explosion, and now want to have these dresses sent to Lagos. You can use a shipping company such as UPS, Fed Ex, or the US Postal Service.
