The forwarding agent field is used to identify a BP appointed by the sender or the recipient to ensure transport continuity when the goods need to undergo several successive transports. The forwarding agent is controlled in the Carriers table.

The forwarding agent and their address are used in the Intrastat file to declare the flows of goods between the forwarding agent’s address and the sender’s address, or between the forwarding agent’s address and the recipient’s address.

For example, this situation applies to the shipment of goods abroad, since customs formalities are performed by a forwarding agent in another EU country. An Intrastat declaration needs to be submitted for the transfer of goods to this other EU country.
