Scope of Freight Forwarding Services

Originally, a freight forwarder (货运代理人) was a commission agent (委托代理人) performing on behalf of (代表…) the exporter/importer routine tasks such
as loading/unloading of goods, storage of goods, arranging local transport,
obtaining payment for his customer, etc…
However, the expansion of international trade and the development of
different modes of transport over the years that followed enlarged the scope of
his services. Today, a freight forwarder plays an important role in
international trade and transport. The services that a freight forwarder renders
may often range from routine and basic tasks such as the booking of space or
customs clearance (清关) to a comprehensive package of services covering the

Choose the route, mode of transport and a suitable carrier. 句子中的:

carrier(承运人) 来自动词 carry(运送,携带). 它的名词是 carriage(运输,运输费).
关于这个 carriage 还可以解释运输费的情况, 还想再言几句:
carriage 运输费:
例如: carriage paid to ... (CPT, 运费付至…)
carriage and Insurance Paid To ... (CIP, 运费、保险费付至…)
carriage free (运费免付)
carriage paid (运费已付)
carriage forward (运费到付)
freight 运输费(租用船只或飞机的费用, 尤其指水路运费:
例如: freight prepaid (运费已付)
freight collect (运费到付)

句子:
Take delivery of the goods and issue relevant documents such as the
Forwarders’ Certificate of Receipt, the Forwarders’ Certificate of Transport,
etc.句中:

12.1 比较说明下列句词:
(1) take delivery of the goods and ... (即上句)
(2) ... and deliver the goods to the carrier.

deliver (及物动词 vt.):
原意是"递送, 交付(信件、包裹、货物等)至收件处、收件人或购货人等".
上句(2)的意思当然就解释为"货交承运人"了.我们也就不难理解贸易术语
中的D组术语:
delivered duty unpaid (DDU, 未完税交货)
delivered duty paid (DDP, 完税后交货) 的意思了

delivery (名词 n.)
例如: delivery note (交货单)
delivery receipt (送货单)
delivery order (提货单, 它的缩写是 D/O)

take delivery of = receive (词组 phr. 解释"收到,接收")
值得注意的是: deliver(y) 和 take delivery of 意思正好向左.

(1) Study the provisions of the letter of credit and ...
(provision = regulation, 稍侧重于 clause)
(2) ... and all Government regulations ...
(regulation = provision,稍侧重于 rule)

be applicable t
be applicable to = be able to have an effect on sth. (适用于...)

transit:
transit 原意是"通过、运送、搬运"等意思.贸易上的解释见下例:
transit trade = entrepot trade 转口贸易,过境贸易
transit country 过境国,中转国.
transit operations 运输过程
goods delayed in transit: 运输中延误的货物(注意介词的搭配)

句子: Arrange warehousing of the goods, if necessary.句中:
例如: bonded warehouse 保税仓库
warehousing = storage "仓库储存","仓储费"
例如: warehousing and storage activities 仓储作业
