Abstract

Customs brokers are among the foreign trade operators who stand shoulder to shoulder with customs services worldwide. These professionals, who are duly represented within the Private Sector Consultative Group (PSCG), arrange for the clearance of goods before customs on behalf of importers and exporters. In this chapter we discuss the optional or mandatory nature of their services, fees and charges, examinations and how licenses are granted in different countries.
