Customs Brokers

About the Customs Brokers heading in Yellow™

Find information regarding customs brokers under this Yellow™ heading. Customs are duties imposed by law on imported and exported goods. These must be paid in order for the items to pass through customs barriers. A customs broker aids an importer or exporter in clearing goods, computing for duties, and securing clearances from concerned government agencies. The efficiency of a customs broker is crucial to a manufacturer or supplier’s import and export solutions.
Importers and exporters rely heavily on the knowledge and expertise of customs brokers in order to have their goods cleared in just a short time. Any delays would cause damages and income loss. Customs brokers take care of the logistics of an importer or exporter’s shipments by co-ordinating between the latter and government authorities. They offer consultation through the whole import/export process, from pre-dispatch to post-delivery. Their tasks involve providing freight services, storage, and distribution. Customs brokers also work with trucking companies to ensure the safe delivery of goods that passed through customs barriers.

To do their job efficiently, customs brokers need to be knowledgeable about customs regulations and schedules of duty rates for different imports. Each country has different requirements and shipping documentation that have to be followed. Otherwise, importers and exporters incur higher costs and risk having their goods seized. Because of the importance of their work, customs brokers need to be licensed.
