The importer of record must sign a POA to give Flexport the ability to move a shipment and clear it through customs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a POA? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A Customs Power of Attorney is a legal document authorizing Flexport LLC to conduct Customs business on your behalf. Flexport cannot clear a shipment through Customs without a signed POA. This only applies to imports to the U.S. and to the Netherlands; all other imports will require you sign one of our partner’s POAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the case of customs clearance, this refers to the authorization required to be given to the customs broker on behalf of the importer or exporter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This document is necessary to conduct customs business on the importer\u2019s behalf, and may need to be renewed depending on the details of the contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who signs the POA?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The POA must be signed by an officer of the company. Who has the authority to sign a POA may depend on the type of company (corporation, LLC<\/a>, etc), so confirm with a company officer if you are unsure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When is the POA signed?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The POA is signed at the time of onboarding. Whoever is onboarding the company must  send the officer of the company a link to sign the POA. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

EU companies importing into the U.S. will require a witness secondary signature to sign the POA. The witness must also be an officer of the company. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
