A Customs Broker is a licensed professional who helps businesses and individuals navigate the complex process of importing and exporting goods across international borders. They ensure that shipments comply with all relevant laws and regulations, including tariffs and duties, to facilitate smooth customs clearance. These brokers act as intermediaries between importers or exporters and government authorities, such as the Customs and Border Protection agency. They prepare and submit necessary documentation, calculate duties, and advise clients on trade regulations, making international trade more efficient and less stressful.
