Customs Broker

A Customs Broker helps businesses and organisations to meet the requirements of customs officials. You might provide information or advice on entry requirements and help to complete relevant paperwork. Customs Brokers may liaise with authorities on behalf of importers and exporters to ensure regulations are complied with.

Customs Brokers should have strong attention to detail and a thorough knowledge of current customs legislation. It’s important you can communicate well with people from a range of backgrounds and work with correct procedures. Customs Brokers may have to work irregular hours including nights and weekends.
