Working in the freight & logistics industry its important that I pay attention to every detail. Incase of a wrong usage of classification could result in fines and trouble with customs. I spend time analyzing between all the freight forwarders and utilizing the ones that provide quicker transit times as well as the most reasonable prices.
When receiving quotes I tend to analyze every charge and come to conclusion if its in the price range. I let the freight forwarders know that they are in competition so that they know they cant just make up unreasonable prices.
Track and analyze freight coming internationally.
Being able to choose correct HTS codes for the correct item being shipped.
