| Customs brokers are licensed business professionals who assist importers with filing proper documents and meeting legal requirements for shipments entering the United States. U.S. Customs and Border Protection issues customs broker licenses to eligible applicants who pass a written examination and prove they have good moral character. Because the position carries heavy responsibility and requires knowledge of complex import laws and regulations, customs brokers typically earn high pay. |
| Salary | | According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the 2012 median annual salary for customs brokers was $65,120, and the average hourly wage was $31.31. An entry-level position for a customs broker, such as an import specialist, may only pay around $30,000 a year. Entry-level positions usually don't require a college degree or extensive work experience. Experienced customs brokers holding management roles in logistics or purchasing may average as much as $94,145 a year. Employers are more likely to offer upper-level positions to customs brokers with college degrees. | |
| Regional Comparisons | | Employers pay higher wages to customs brokers working in geographical areas that have a greater demand for import knowledge and a higher cost of living. Average customs broker salaries range from $70,590 to $92,710 in states with large metropolitan areas and heavy international trade activity, such as California, Texas, New York and Virginia. Customs brokers in largely rural states like Montana, Iowa or Kentucky can expect lower salaries ranging from $34,550 to $61,240. | | Related Reading: What Is a Customs Analyst? | |
| Risks | | U.S. Customs and Border Protection requires all customs brokers to use reasonable care to ensure all import transactions are accurate and compliant with U.S. laws and regulations. Data entry or documentation errors may target shipments for time-consuming customs exams or cause penalties for the importer and customs broker. If a customs broker knowingly violates import regulations, Customs and Border Protection can issue a fine up to $30,000 or revoke the broker's license. Customs brokers must remember to file their triennial reports with fees before the due date to keep their licenses active. Customs and Border Protection can issue a penalty up to $10,000 per transaction for brokers who lose their licenses and intentionally conduct customs business for someone other than themselves. | |
| Career Outlook | | Customs brokers are a vital component in an expanding global business environment. The position has a bright outlook, according to the U.S. Department of Labor, which predicts the number of customs broker jobs will grow an average of 10 to 19 percent from 2010 to 2020. | |
