Answers
A Customs Broker is a person licensed by the country’s Customs to act on behalf of an importer or exporter to clear goods through customs. In the USA, the US Customs and Border Protection is the licensing entity and activity is named Customs House Broker (CHB).
The acting universe of a customs broker can be vast and variable. Aside from being an intermediary between an exporter or importer and a government entity, he or she executes tasks of preparation, signing and submission of documents, classification or valuation of goods, calculation and payment of duties and fees, export registration, import permits, preparation and issuing of certificates, explanation of customs laws and regulations, transactions revision to ensure compliance, among others.
