What is a customs broker?

A customs broker is a licensed professional who acts as an intermediary between importers/exporters and customs agencies, handling complex documentation and procedures for border clearance.

Common documents include Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Bill of Lading (sea) or Air Waybill (air). Depending on goods and country, Certificate of Origin or specific permits may also be required.

How are customs duties and taxes calculated?

Duties and taxes are calculated as a percentage of customs value (often CIF - cost, insurance, freight) based on the product's HS code and the destination country's tariff schedule.
