Customs Broker

A Customs Broker is a licensed professional who acts as an intermediary between importers and exporters and the government agencies responsible for regulating international trade. Customs Brokers are experts in the customs clearance process, including the laws, regulations, and procedures related to the import and export of goods. 

The role of a Customs Broker is to help importers and exporters comply with customs laws and regulations, while also ensuring that shipments are processed efficiently and without unnecessary delays. Customs Brokers work with government agencies, such as Customs and Border Protection (CBP), to prepare and submit the necessary documentation for clearing goods through customs, including invoices, bills of lading, and other trade documents.
