Customs representative (broker) in Moscow "Russian Brokerage Company"

A customs broker is a company that clears imported or exported goods through customs on behalf of your business. Brokers are responsible for ensuring cargo compliance with all regulations and rules established by law. The broker must correctly calculate all taxes, fees, duties, correctly fill out declarations and fulfill other requirements on which the timely delivery of goods depends.

The meaning and purpose of the existence of brokerage companies is to speed up the process of declaring goods, on which other important business processes depend. Of course, if desired, the owner can handle the clearance of goods at customs himself, but this can take an unreasonably long time. Therefore, it is easier for most companies to pay a broker a flat fee than to allow a simple shipment of goods abroad that could result in the disruption of an important delivery.

Brokers are the link between representatives of foreign economic activity and the state, in whose favor tax payments are transferred. This is a big responsibility, which has serious consequences if some detail is missed or an error “slips” into the documents. The Invest Multimodal company offers customs brokerage services in Moscow, Smolensk and Yartsevo, as well as other cities of Russia. You can trust us with customs support for any import-export operations!

Responsibility of a customs broker

The responsibility of the customs broker begins from the moment the contract is signed. As soon as the documents are signed, the broker receives the same powers as the owner of the cargo: he is responsible not only to the customer, but also to government agencies.

A key role in this area is played by the contract for the provision of brokerage services, which stipulates the rights and obligations of the parties, penalties (their amount, terms and methods of payment), etc., the broker and the customer are subject to liability as provided for by current legislation.

In case of violation of the terms of the contract by the customer, the broker may demand compensation from him as provided for in the Civil Code.

The broker is subject to the following sanctions:

• fine;
• compensation for material and financial damage caused;
• administrative penalties;
• exclusion from the Register of customs representatives.

The last paragraph may apply in cases where the customs broker has committed multiple serious violations. In addition, a legal entity may be blacklisted by brokers.

One of the mechanisms designed to protect the interests of the state and the client is mandatory liability insurance for a customs broker. The following insurance risks are provided:

• non-payment or partial payment of payments;
• payment of fines for incorrect execution of customs operations;
• incorrect calculation of customs duties;
• payment of inflated customs duties;
• failure to comply with the terms of use of goods that have not completed the registration procedure;
• violation of deadlines for filing declarations, etc.

Responsibilities of a customs broker

The duties of a customs broker are divided into several categories: to the state and to the client.

The first are fixed in the current legislation, the second - in the contract for the provision of customs brokerage services.

Responsibilities to the state are as follows:

• submit reports regularly;
• pay taxes, fees and duties at customs;
• comply with the rules and procedure for including a legal entity in a special register and, in case of any changes, inform government authorities about them;
• do not disclose to third parties confidential information that became known in the course of performing professional duties;
• comply with other requirements that may be established by the participants of the Customs Union.

The agreement between the client and the broker may stipulate the following responsibilities:

• operational consulting on contract execution issues;
• timely and correct execution of the customs declaration;
• protection of the client’s interests and rights within the framework of the powers granted;
• performing the entire range of actions for customs clearance of cargo.

International customs broker: list of documents

An international customs broker must have a full package of documents to fulfill his direct duties. Depending on the terms of the transaction and the country of the importer, this list may change, but the main package includes the following documents:

• an agreement with the importing company, which stipulates the main terms of the transaction;
• permits from government authorities (required when importing certain categories of cargo);

Brokerage services in Moscow

You can use the services of a broker in any terminal of Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo, Vnukovo when exporting, re-exporting, customs clearance of any groups of goods.

Such a seemingly simple procedure as customs clearance at a customs post can turn into an epic if you take on the matter without specific preparation. Even experienced clients who go through customs procedures more than once prefer a reliable helping hand from a professional broker.

Experiments with self-registration at customs end in slowing down the process, breaking the contract, significant financial losses and a blow to business reputation: it is unlikely that anyone will want to deal with an unpunctual partner.

For example, a company supplies products abroad, therefore, the cargo will have to be cleared through customs. There is nothing particularly complicated here, if you did not need permits from the Federal Service for Technical and Export Control or a conclusion from the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. It is impossible to issue these accompanying documents in one day, but they must be available before the start of customs procedures in Moscow . Consequently, this should be done by the customs declarant, who guarantees the timely availability of conclusions and the elimination of cargo downtime.
