Customs Broking

Companies that provide customs broking services, in fact, wish to organize the cargo transport through customs. Up until a few years ago, customs broking services meant sending a broker to be present as the cargo reaches the country of destination. Nowadays, customs broking companies operate to process the necessary forms and documentation in order to allow goods to reach the destination with no delays.

A company that provides customs broking services is required to charge minimum rates as are set by law. Furthermore, lower rates are possible in the case of an existing contract with a certain airline, dependent on the airline company. The more cargo sent by the same client, the lower the rate.
