Nine to five but can be a real “pressure cooker”, lots of paperwork

All of the goods that Canadians buy and sell that cross the border go through someone who helps to make it legal! A customs broker is there to lend a hand to an importer trying to bring MP3 players from China or to an exporter trying to sell paper, lobsters, diamonds — you name it — to the world. This is the person that makes it happen!

A Customs Broker fights for his clients, represents them and advises them in front of the government. He can dot every ‘i’ and cross every ‘t’ using on-line networks to make sure that Canadians get what they need, and sell what they can. Customs Brokers are the grease in the wheels of our system!
