Forwarders are entitled to perform the carriage of the goods themselves. If they exercise this right, they will have, as far as the carriage is concerned, the rights and duties of a carrier or sea carrier. In this case, the forwarders may charge the usual freight in addition to the remuneration for their services as a forwarder.
