What Is a Customs Broker?
A licensed customs broker acts as an authorized intermediary between importers and the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). At Viacan, our brokers prepare and submit import declarations, classify goods under the Harmonized System (HS), calculate applicable duties and taxes, and ensure full compliance with Canadian import laws.
Working with a licensed customs broker is not just convenient — it reduces the risk of costly compliance failures, border delays, and unexpected duty assessments. Viacan's team has been clearing goods into Canada since 1983.
