Terms & Conditions of Service
Last updated: 2026.
Template notice — replace before launch. Customs brokers normally adopt the NCBFAA Terms and Conditions of Service, or a set drafted by counsel, and incorporate them by reference on invoices and in the power of attorney packet. The summary below is a placeholder outline, not enforceable terms.
1. Scope of services
All Points Custom House Brokers, Inc. acts as the customer’s agent for the purpose of transacting customs business, and where separately agreed, arranges transportation and ancillary services as agent for the customer.
2. Customer responsibilities
The customer is the importer of record and remains responsible for the accuracy and completeness of all information furnished, and for exercising reasonable care under 19 U.S.C. § 1484. The customer warrants that it has authority to make the declarations on which we rely.
3. Powers of attorney
Services are provided under a valid customs power of attorney. The customer will notify us promptly of any change in ownership, control or corporate identity affecting that authority.
4. Duties, taxes and disbursements
Duties, taxes, fees and third-party charges advanced on the customer’s behalf are payable on demand. The customer remains liable to the government for duties owed regardless of any payment made to the broker.
5. Fees and payment terms
Charges are as set out in our fee schedule or written quotation. Invoices are payable per the agreed terms; unpaid balances may accrue interest and collection costs.
6. Limitation of liability
Liability arising from our services is limited as set out in the governing terms and conditions of service adopted by the company, subject to any higher amount agreed in writing before services are rendered.
7. Recordkeeping
We maintain customs records for the periods required under 19 CFR Part 163. The customer’s independent recordkeeping obligation is not discharged by ours.
8. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of [State], and by applicable federal law.
