Have a question for our Melbourne Logistics Team?
A customs broker is a licensed professional who helps businesses ensure their goods comply with customs regulations when importing or exporting. They handle documentation, classification, regulatory compliance, and ensure correct duties and taxes are paid.
A customs clearance broker, on the other hand, focuses specifically on clearing goods through customs once they arrive (or before departure), ensuring they are not delayed and all duties and taxes are settled.
While both roles overlap, customs brokers manage broader import/export compliance, while customs clearance brokers specialize in the clearance process. At ICS Global Logistics, we offer both services to ensure smooth and timely deliveries.
