Contract Customs Classification focuses on determining the correct tariff codes and ensuring compliance with customs regulations, often performed by specialists or consultants. Customs Brokers, on the other hand, are licensed professionals who handle the entire import/export process, including documentation and tariff classification. While both roles require knowledge of customs laws, brokers have formal licensing requirements and broader responsibilities in trade facilitation.
