What does customs brokerage involve?

From my point of view doing export and import is by no means a simple trial. There are documents to be collected and e-forms to be filled. Depending on the nature of the goods, there are various taxes, duties and excises to be paid. Also, international trade is governed by a whole host of regulations. To maximize compliance, importers/exporters need to be familiar with all applicable laws. As experts in the field, customs brokers help you navigate the sea of changing regulations and understand import specifics related to particular commodities. They are highly knowledgeable in all entry procedures, admissibility requirements, classification, valuation, and the duties and taxes imposed on imported goods.
