Customs brokers are individuals or organizations entrusted by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to facilitate the entry of goods and monitor documentation required to enter or leave the country. Brokerage of products between countries is highly regulated, and your job is to manage the logistics and tracking to meet each countries’ regulations. Other duties may include: arranging shipments of merchandise once it arrives in the U.S. Some customs brokers specialize in a particular type of product or the verification of shipping crews and passengers.
| Aspect | Customs Broker | Freight Forwarder |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Licensed by customs authorities, often requires licensing exams | No specific licensing, may have certifications like FMC |
| Work Environment | Works closely with customs agencies, government regulations | Coordinates shipping logistics, interacts with carriers and clients |
| Employer & Industry Usage | Used by import/export companies, customs authorities | Used by shipping companies, importers, exporters |
While both roles facilitate international shipping, a Customs Broker primarily handles customs clearance and compliance, whereas a Freight Forwarder manages the overall logistics and transportation of goods. Understanding these differences helps businesses choose the right partner for their shipping needs.
