What is a Customs Broker? A US Customs Broker is a highly-trained individual, licensed and entrusted by the US Department of Treasury. Customs brokers not only have to be constantly attentive to US Customs regulations and laws, but are also responsible for accurate classification of imported items within thousands of categories. They are also required to collect and pay the appropriate tariff or duty on shipped items. RAM'S Cargo Brokers, INC. We work as agents between the importer, US Customs and other government agencies. It is our job to be sure that the importer on record is in compliance with all Federal and State laws. Power of Attorney All customs brokers are required to have a Power of Attorney on file prior to transacting any Customs business on behalf of the importer. This instrument allows the broker to transact Customs business only. The document indicates the US tax reporting number, and specifies if the importer is a corporation, partnership, sole proprietor or an individual. All importations into the US with a value of more than $2000 (USD) require a bond to be filed with US Customs. |
