I'm thinking about doing some importing, could anyone refer me to a good customs broker?

If your an American citizen you might want to start by obtaining an import/export license.

My Canadian licenses were free of charge

Familiarize yourself with the HST codes, your Broker will need to know the tariff classification on the goods your importing.

Multiple carriers maybe involved with logistics, which your broker will arrange payment to each on your behalf.

I use a Broker from Winnipeg never had a face to face, all communications and documents via emails, you will need a flatbed scanner to scan signed and digitized documents or create a digitized signature file that you can past into a document.

Or you can purchase a digital capture device.

I probably should have put this in the "everything else" section.
