Can I simply select a forwarding agent and customs broker and provide their names and addresses on the bill of lading?
• It is important that the responsible party contact the forwarding agent and/or the customs broker(s) to set up an account with them. • Like any business relationship, the shipper and the selected agent and broker will need to agree on the services to be provided and the charges for the services and set up payment or credit terms, etc. • When a shipper fails to complete this important step of international shipping, delays are unavoidable at the U.S. and Mexican borders. When this relationship has been established, all parties involved must be informed as to which forwarding agent and customs broker(s) is/are designated to process each shipment through the borders. You should complete this before we pick up your shipment. • Must I know all these details to ship to Mexico? Our Border Ambassadors can answer all your questions and facilitate cross-border moves.
