Behind IWS
I started Independent Waiver Service in 2014, after I had been working quite some time in the logistics. During my work I became acquainted with the Waivers for Africa, also known as Cargo Tracking Notes. As a freight forwarder we were asked to submit Waivers for other freight forwarders. In my opinion quite a risk, because in this way you might lose your customer to competition. From this point of view the idea to submit Waivers as a independent Waiver specialist was born! IWS is not providing any freight forwarding services: JUST WAIVERS!
