Why Become a Licensed Customs Broker People become Licensed Customs Brokers for many reasons, not just financial reasons. Although a customs broker license dresses up a resume and is a step towards a higher salary and job security, many people want to be licensed so that they understand the import laws and regulations better and to keep their employer in compliance. A customs broker license also allows you to work for a customs brokerage firm or an importer, open your own, or become a consultant.
More and more importers are hiring in-house Licensed Customs Brokers. The demand for Licensed Customs Brokers is huge and growing. Having in-house Licensed Customs Brokers provides an importer with lasting advantages when importing.
What Licensed Customs Brokers Do Customs brokers must be licensed by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). While companies can import goods without a customs broker license, it is almost a good decision to have a customs broker help. Licensed Customs Brokers are invaluable in navigating the mountain of paperwork and regulations. They help importers "clear goods", which means processing shipments through customs in a timely and legal fashion. Licensed Customs Brokers work under many deadlines, and must be comfortable with filing information electronically with CBP. A Licensed Customs Broker may take on other responsibilities and often play an important role in a company's trade compliance programs.
