Frequently Asked Questions

The POA is a required document between the importer or nominal consignee and the customs broker. The nominal consignee is usually the party who will sign the POA. A nominal consignee is the party representing the exporter, importer or consolidator of the cargo. There is no such requirement for the customs broker to collect a POA from every individual consignee

The IOR can be the consignee name and address instead of the IRS number. The IOR number is mandatory depending on relevant Partner Government Agency requirements.
