Five Star Freight Systems World Agency Network (FSFSWAN)

Criteria Overview

Sole Agency Network Accreditation

  • The FSFSWAN primarily operates a sole agency network policy for its members under the Five Star and PFI Networks
  • For the GSFN, an open network model applies. Sole agency rights do not extend to GSFN except under exceptional and previously agreed circumstances

Membership Internal Flexibility

  • FSFSWAN members may apply to join one of the network's internal sister networks
  • For instance, a PFI agent can seek membership in GSFN or Five Star

Sole Agency Rights

  • Upon successful application, FSFSWAN grants sole agency over the applicant's home territory, provided it is available
  • Members may also book and pay for any available adjoining territory (if available)

Compliance Requirements

  • Adherence to network rules and regulations is mandatory. Key obligations include:
  • Regular attendance of our annual network meeting
  • Reciprocal business cooperation with network partners
  • Non-compliance can result in the loss of sole agency rights. In such cases, a second (dual) agent will be introduced for that country
