Customs powers of attorney of resident(including resident corporations)shall be without power of substitution except for the purpose of executing shipper’s export declarations, However, a power of attorney executed in favor of a licensed customs broker may specify that the power of attorney is granted to the customs broker to act through any of its licensed officers or any employee 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 the procedure must contact our office in advance to arrange timely receipt of duty checks.
