If the corporation has no corporate seal, the fact shall be stated, in which case a scroll or adhesive shall appear in the appropriate, designated place.  Customs power of attorney of residents (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 your liability for Customs charges in the event the charges are not paid by the broker. Therefore, if you pay bye importers who wish to utilize this procedure must contact our office in advance to arrange timely receipt of duty checks.
