It depends on how much you ship. A freight forwarding company has expertise that goes along with doing high volume and you get economy of scale. If you are a huge company, you can develop these skills with in house staff, but a small company can't afford the costs due to inefficiencies and errors as well as irate customers.
A freight forwarding company is almost a must for international. They will know the customs rules. Your costs due to fines and delays will dwarf the forwarder's fees. Many forwarders operate their own bonded warehouses.
