LLC "B&B Logistics" is a licensed customs broker that carries out international transportation, legal support of foreign economic activity (FEA), certification and customs clearance of import and export cargoes, and provides customs agent services on a contractual basis.

What is the difference between a customs agent and a customs broker (customs representative)

A customs agent is a legal entity that carries out all the necessary procedures for the delivery, customs clearance, certified, etc., of the customer's goods (cargo) to the recipient specified both in the territory of the Russian Federation and in foreign territory. Moreover, these services are provided with minimal involvement in this process of the customer (principal) and/or the recipient of the goods (cargo) specified by the customer (principal).

A customs agent, unlike a broker, is authorized to perform almost all tasks in the field of foreign economic activity - from the preparation and execution of purchase and sale transactions to customs clearance of import or export goods and their delivery to the recipient. These tasks in the field of foreign economic activity are provided by the Agent on behalf and by prior agreement with the customer.

In fact, the customs clearance agent is a team of highly qualified specialists - international lawyers, certification specialists, quality specialists, declarants, managers, financiers and accountants, specialists in foreign economic activity, logisticians, warehouse workers and drivers.
