The main function of a company’s Customs Process department is to facilitate international trade in goods, ensuring that all customs procedures and formalities associated with exports and imports are carried out.

Companies can hire the Customs Representation service from an external organisation such as official brokers or they can open an internal customs department by hiring an official broker.

An official broker is a technician with specialised training who has extensive knowledge of international trade matters and can help at the various stages of the buying and selling process with fundamental matters such as origin, value and tariff classification.

In the customs process, the customs broker is the intermediary between exporters/importers and the various customs authorities.
