FIATA was founded in Vienna, Austria, on 1926 and owes its name to its acronym French: Fédération Internationale des Associations de Transitaires et Assimilés. Also known as the ‘Architects of Transport’, FIATA has Association Members and Individual Members in some 150 countries.[3]
FIATA has consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (inter alia ECE, ESCAP, ESCWA), the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, and the UN Commission on International Trade Law. FIATA is recognised as representing the freight forwarding industry by many other governmental organisations, governmental authorities, and private international organisations in the field of transport such as the International Chamber of Commerce, the International Air Transport Association, the International Union of Railways, the International Road Transport Union, the World Customs Organisation, the World Trade Organization, etc.
