Why do I receive a separate invoice from a customs brokerage company when I receive goods purchased in the U.S.?
A. Separate invoices are received for customs clearance because in most cases, the process of clearing goods at the border is not done by the courier company that transports the goods, but instead by a separate customs brokerage company. Because the companies are separate entities, there is no way to consolidate, or combine all charges onto one invoice. 9.
