International logistics depends on much more than transportation alone.
Behind global trade operations are freight forwarders, customs brokers, trucking companies, regulatory organizations, and logistics professionals working together to keep cargo moving efficiently across borders.
That's where CIFFA Corp., formally known as the Canadian International Freight Forwarders Association, plays an important role in the Canadian logistics industry.
Through industry advocacy, collaboration with customs authorities, professional education, and support for freight forwarding companies, CIFFA helps strengthen international trade and logistics practices across Canada.
In this conversation with Sérgio Mourato from OMNI News, Arnon Melo shares how freight forwarders directly impact the movement of goods between countries, helping coordinate cargo transportation, customs processes, product classification, compliance requirements, and cross-border trade activities every day.
The discussion also highlights how companies are increasingly exploring alternative international markets, making logistics planning, freight cost optimization, supply chain resilience, and operational efficiency more important than ever in today's global trade environment.
Technology and artificial intelligence are also playing an increasingly important role in this transformation, helping logistics companies improve visibility, automate processes, enhance efficiency, and deliver better customer support across the industry.
