Custom Brokerage FAQ Frequently Asked Questions

What does a customs broker do?

A broker prepares and files declarations, classifies goods with correct codes, calculates duties and liaises with border agencies. You avoid delays, fines and paperwork errors on every crossing.

Which documents do you need from me?

A commercial invoice, packing list, transport document and any permits for controlled goods cover most shipments. Send them once and clearance is prepared before your freight arrives.

How are duties and taxes calculated?

Duty follows the goods classification, declared value and origin under the destination tariff schedule. An upfront estimate shows every charge before dispatch so nothing surprises the receiver.

Who pays the duties?

By default the receiver settles duties on arrival, or you can pre-pay at booking for a landed-cost delivery. Delivered-duty options are quoted transparently with all taxes included.

How long does clearance take?

Compliant declarations typically clear within hours on express lanes and a day on standard freight. Pre-lodged paperwork means release is ready the moment goods land.

What if customs holds my shipment?

You are notified immediately with the exact reason and the fastest resolution path, from missing certificates to valuation queries. Cases are worked daily until release.

Do you handle restricted goods?

Licensed categories move with the right permits, approvals and declarations filed in advance. Prohibited items are flagged at quote stage so non-compliant freight never ships.

Can you support regular importers?

Yes, frequent shippers get streamlined declarations, deferred duty accounts where eligible and periodic compliance reviews. A dedicated specialist keeps every lane consistent and auditable.
