ABOUT BROKER MANAGEMENT
The UK customs government department actively advises to “Get someone to deal with customs for you” and provides guidance on “how you can hire a person or business to deal with customs for you”.
This sounds very easy however, the legal and practical consequences for businesses of hiring a representative to act on behalf of your company, the options you as a business has and how to instruct brokers effectively, efficiently and, of course, compliantly, should be well understood.
Confusing the type of representation and insufficiently instructing your agents can have significant compliance consequences, lead to delays, deteriorate relations with trade partners, and can cost everyone a lot of time and hassle.
