Economically
Flag Preference Many countries now insist that their importers use the country's own merchant fleet or flag line for importing goods so as to conserve foreign exchange. Usually, as an incentive, a lower rate of import duty as well as lower consulate fee are offered.

According to
the size of their firm, number of branches overseas, most freight forwarders will offer all or some of the
above services.
However, all freight forwarders will advise on the booking of shipping space. Many freight forwarders handle both exports and imports and may also act as Customs brokers. In shipping goods abroad, the exporter has various alternative methods. These include ship, truck, rail, air and parcel post. The choice will depend on the nature of the product (light or heavy, fragile or sturdy, perishable or durable, high or low in value per cubic meter, etc); the distance to be shipped; available means of transportation; and relative freight costs. Goods having high weight or cubic capacity or value ratio, the usual method of shipping overseas is by ocean cargo vessel.
However, when speed is essential, air cargo may be preferred, although more expensive. For example, ski jackets are shipped from Germany to Japan by sea but towards the end of the ski season, air cargo is used.
