What to know about Customs brokers
A customs broker is one of the few genuinely licensed roles in Australian logistics. The licence is issued by the Australian Border Force under the Customs Act 1901, and it exists because the law restricts who may lodge an import declaration at all. If you are not the owner of the goods, and you are not licensed, you cannot enter goods for home consumption on someone else's behalf.
