Customs Broker
Customs brokers, acting under licences issued by the
Australian Customs Service, provide professional assistance
and advice on customs, quarantine and import and export
matters.
Customs brokers may perform the following tasks:
- provide information to importers on customs tariffs
including rates of duty and the methods of goods clearance
- receive, prepare and process import documents
- make reservations with shipping or airline companies for
freight to be exported and arrange for the clearance of
cargo (export entry)
- liaise with the Australian Customs Service and other
government authorities in the correct clearance of goods
through customs
- advise on tariff classifications, tariff concessions,
appraisals and overseas trade enquiries.
Customs brokers in a small agency may handle all aspects of
the work, while in a large agency they may specialise in a
specific area such as imports, exports or classifying. Customs
brokers have a lot of contact with the public.
Customs brokers may specialise as freight forwarders.
