Customs
Brokerage
Customs brokerage is one
of the most complex areas of international trade. Complying with the multitude of
government regulations and requirements is a daunting task for even the most experienced
professional. A broker and an importer must maintain a close relationship. Trust and
confidence in the expertise offered by the broker form the foundation of this
relationship. The importer depends upon the broker not only to process the necessary
documentation, but also to advise them of potential liability issues, changes in customs
policy and any problems that may arise that will delay shipment delivery.
