Miami is one of the main gateways for trade with Latin America and the Caribbean, and it also handles a steady flow of air and ocean freight from Europe and Asia. That mix attracts global forwarders and a number of regional specialists. If you are looking for freight forwarders in Miami, this list gives you ten companies with offices in the Miami area and a plain description of what each one says it does.
How this list was built: Kuehne+Nagel and DSV are listed first as my own picks. The remaining companies are ordered by how prominently their own websites appeared in web search results for freight forwarder searches in Miami in October 2026. Search prominence changes over time and is not a measure of quality. Companies whose own websites did not appear in those results follow in alphabetical order. The descriptions come from each company’s own website. No company paid to be included. Before you ship, verify licensing (for example FMC registration for ocean intermediaries and IATA status for air cargo), insurance coverage and the specific services directly with the company.

How to Choose
- Match the lane. Some forwarders focus on the Caribbean and Latin America, while others run global networks. Ask which trade lanes they handle every week.
- Confirm the license and role. Ask for the FMC number for ocean services and IATA status for air cargo. If you are unsure whether you need a forwarder or a broker, read freight forwarder vs freight broker.
- Agree on Incoterms. Make sure you and your supplier know who pays for what and where risk transfers. Our guide to Incoterms 2020 for importers explains the common terms.
- Know your volume. Small shipments may suit consolidation, while larger ones may suit a full container. See FCL vs LCL shipping in 2026.
- Check insurance. Ask what the forwarder’s liability covers and what it does not. Read cargo insurance vs carrier liability before you decide on coverage.
- Ask about the full cost. Request a written quote that lists origin charges, ocean or air freight, customs brokerage, drayage and warehousing, so you can compare quotes on the same basis.
Use this list as a starting point, then request quotes from two or three companies that fit your cargo and lanes.
