European Freight Forwarders Association
The European Freight Forwarders Association (EFFA) is an association of small and medium sized freight forwarders. The EFFA wishes to attract good quality, independent, International freight forwarders and provide them with a network of agents so that each member can have the same strength, security, structure and networking capabilities as the large multi-national enterprises. This association of reliable independent agents will be able to better compete in the growing global economy.
As a non-profit organization the EFFA provides a forum for this budget conscious network of independent freight forwarders to conduct business with other members of the organization who also provide excellent service at a low cost, by maintaining personal service and low operating costs. It is not mandatory for agents to use other member agents in specific regions, although such co-operation is encouraged.
If you are a Freight Forwarder or Customs Broker, and you would like information on how your company can join the EFFA, please contact the EFFA head quarters.
