There are many different professional groups today. For this reason, people are now careful to choose the professions that are most attractive to them and have the highest returns. In this sense, customs consultancy ranks high in Google searches and has become an increasingly popular profession. So, what does a customs consultant  do? Customs consultants specialize in the country's customs law, tax, and legislation. Customs consultants mainly provide services on issues such as export and import transactions, customs tax collection, customs declarations, customs controls, and customs consultancy services. Customs consultancy is the first profession established by law in our country. They provide consultancy services in foreign trade transactions, mainly for industry, export, and import companies. Customs consultants are primarily responsible for the execution of foreign-oriented business and the duties assigned by the undersecretaries.

Customs Consultant Power of Attorney

A power of attorney is a document that a customs consultant must receive from their customers to act as an indirect representative. With this power of attorney, the transaction follows the conditions specified in the customs Law. What is meant by the customer here is a foreign trade expert who owns the goods that constitute the activities. This foreign trade expert is the person who authorizes a customs consultant with a Customs Consultant Authorization Certificate by giving him a power of attorney to carry out the work.

Customs Consultancy Exam

The exam date must be taken to become a customs consultant , and the application conditions are announced one month in advance. The customs consultancy exam consists of two stages. These are pre-selection and professional qualification exams.

Where Does a Customs Consultant Work?

Of course, customs comes first among the customs consultant's work areas. Assistant customs consultants can also work in businesses alongside consultants. In some customs offices, companies do not have offices, so these people can also work in offices. In addition, customs consultants can give lectures on foreign trade, logistics, export , and import at private universities.
