What is a Customs Broker?
Before we get begin, let’s take a look at what a customs broker does exactly. A customs broker is appointed by an importer (or exporter) who does not wish to deal or transact directly with Canada Border Services Agency. A Customs Broker’s primary job is to ensure accuracy and compliance of goods being imported by properly submitting a B3 to customs as well as collecting and remitting duties and taxes. Some other duties include arranging final transportation, paying your freight forwarder, etc.
The traditional Broker
Your traditional brokerage model hasn’t changed very much since….well, the beginning of time. It can take up to several days to open a customs brokerage account and getting your goods cleared is a matter of blind trust. You have printed off, signed, and faxed back your power of attorney and credit request applications and you believe you have followed instructions and sent in all necessary documents. Your file is then passed around the office to the appropriate person. This may mean that someone who has never handled one of your files before will be doing your customs clearance simply because it is coming in by another mode of transportation. Hopefully you will not get a frantic phone call from a shipping company telling you your goods are stalled at the border and will run into storage soon.
