Resource Overview

Word document template to authorize a broker or agent under contract to act for the exporter on customs or bank presentation.

Usage

Required when a third party submits contract documents on your behalf. Download and edit locally — official presentation must meet customs and bank rules.

Template Includes

  • Letterhead & date
  • Recipient & reference
  • Body clauses
  • Signature block
