Perspective
This is the third article in our study of customs broker activity in different countries. The first one concerned the peculiarities of the customs broker profession in different EU countries. The second one contained insights and news not only from the EU, but also from the UK and Canada. We dedicate the third article to the approaches of regulation of customs broker’s profession in different countries. For this purpose, we conducted a small survey among our readers before. The results turned out to be quite interesting, especially in the context of their comparison with the current situation in various countries.
