The British International Freight Association (BIFA) is the trade association for UK-registered companies engaged in international movement of freight by all modes of transport, air, road, rail and sea.

BIFA has over 1700 corporate members, known generally as freight forwarders, who offer a wide range of services within these various modes. Some members are also involved in providing customs clearance and other cross border controls.

A not-for-profit organisation, BIFA is funded by subscription and run by its members for members. It operates with a full-time Secretariat which administers and manages the Association’s affairs.

The association provides:

• Representation

• Information and Guidance on Technical Matters

• Training and Development

• Industry Promotion

We also have a thriving community of networking groups around the country for young people and those new to the industry called the Young Forwarder Network. Find out more via:  https://www.bifa.org/information/young-forwarder-network
