Customs brokers are licensed professionals who act as intermediaries between importers and the government agencies responsible for clearing goods at the border. They help importers ensure compliance with customs regulations and facilitate the smooth movement of goods through customs. One important aspect of customs brokerage is the customs bond, which is a financial guarantee that ensures the payment of import duties, taxes, and fees to the government. Customs brokers assist importers in filing the Importer Security Filing (ISF) or the 10+2 rule, which requires importers to provide specific shipment information to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) before the goods are loaded onto a vessel. Customs brokers stay up-to-date with the latest customs regulations and provide expert advice to importers on classification, valuation, documentation, and compliance-related matters. They aim to facilitate a smooth customs clearance process and offer additional services such as consultancy, trade compliance advice, duty drawback assistance, and specialized program assistance. Overall, customs brokers play a vital role in simplifying and expediting the import process, ensuring compliance, and avoiding potential penalties and delays.
