Custom brokers are companies that help individuals and companies facilitate the shipment and goods delivery across borders.
Each country has different sets of rules and regulations governing the entry and exit of goods from their borders and these regulations tend to change constantly. It is not easy for importers and exporters to keep track of these changes especially if they trade across many different countries. This is where the experience and expertise of customs brokers come in.
