What is a Customs Broker?

According to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, “there are 2 types of customs brokers – private individuals and organizational brokers. Organizational brokerages consist of corporations, partnerships, LLCs, or associations.

All brokers are regulated and empowered by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assist importers and exporters in meeting Federal requirements governing imports and exports. Brokers submit necessary information and appropriate payments to CBP on behalf of their clients and charge them a fee for this service.

Brokers must have expertise in the entry procedures, admissibility requirements, classification, valuation, and the rates of duty and applicable taxes and fees for imported merchandise. There are approximately 16,170 active licensed Customs brokers in the United States.”
