The Freight Forwarding Contract serves as a crucial legal instrument for businesses engaged in international trade and domestic transportation within Pakistan. This document is essential when companies require professional logistics services for managing their cargo movement, customs clearance, and related documentation. The contract addresses key aspects such as service scope, liability limitations, insurance requirements, and payment terms, while ensuring compliance with Pakistani legislation including the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act 1925, Customs Act 1969, and the Contract Act 1872. It is particularly relevant for businesses dealing with import/export operations, requiring a clear framework for their logistics arrangements and risk allocation between the freight forwarder and the client.
