Customs Broker

902

A Customs Broker is a licensed professional or company authorized to act on behalf of importers and exporters in dealings with customs authorities. Brokers prepare and submit documentation, classify goods under tariff codes, calculate duties and taxes, and ensure regulatory compliance. They facilitate smooth customs clearance by coordinating inspections and resolving issues. In many countries, brokers must meet strict licensing requirements and adhere to legal standards. Using an experienced customs broker reduces risk, prevents delays, and helps navigate complex international trade regulations.
