Customs power of attorney of residents (including resident
corporation) shall be without power of substitution except for the purpose of
executing shipper's export declarations. However, a power of attorney executed
in the favor of a licensed custom broker may specify that the power of attorney
is granted to the customs broker to act through any of its licensed officers or
any employees specifically authorized to act for such customs broker by power of
attorney.
If you are the importer of record, payment to the broker will not relieve you
of liability for Customs charges (duties, taxes or other debts owed Customs) in
the event the charges are not paid by the broker. Therefore, if you pay by
check, Customs charges may be paid with a separate check payable to the "U.S.
Customs Service" which shall be delivered to Customs by the broker.
Importers who wish to utilize this procedure must contact our office in order
to arrange timely receipt of duty checks.
