hi,

the term C& F means CLEARING AND FORWARING agent ,

he is mainly responsible for clearing the client stocks as and when the stock arrives and forwarding it to the authorised people as instructed by the buisness.

they are the intermidiary in running buisness . as buisness need to explore new

areas and they can open offiices in all the places,then company appoints a C&F agent who is responsible for taking care of goods sent by the company and forwarding to the people say,dealers in that area withthe prior intimation of the

buisness.

good luck

reward points
