Customs | Customs Brokers

Customs brokers assist importers in “clearing” their imported goods through the border into the US. This involves preparing documents and/or electronic filings, calculating (and usually paying) taxes, duties and excises to Customs on behalf of the importer, and facilitating communication between the importer/exporter and governmental authorities.

Customs brokers in the US also submit documentation for obtaining clearance from other government agencies, such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Fish and Wildlife Service, and many others.

Knowing the requirements of each type of import helps companies avoid costly delays or Customs seizure of improperly declared merchandise.  Difficulties may arise during the importation process because of some innocent miscommunication between Customs brokers and FDA officials. These difficulties can result in costly delays, detention, or rejection of imported articles.  If the miscommunications are not corrected, FDA may refuse admission to the imported goods.
