“The Corporate Brokers Locum”©
We are pioneers in Sub Contracting Formal Import Declarations (FID’s) for Corporate Customs Brokers. In addition, we are Corporate Members of / and embraced by the CBFCA.
A new concept introduced to an aging Profession that, in times of high Volume or Leave, transfers the compliance risk from the Corporate Broker needing a Locum service to the 3DL Corporate License and their neutral nominees.
3DL has Air Tight Employment contracts, specifically written for our modern model (Thank you Mr Andrew Hudson) with a heavy emphasis on Commercial Confidentiality. Our IT systems have capabilities to record every key stroke or action a staff member makes, whilst within our environment. We also sign No approach / No work agreements with clients wanting this added security.
For those not ready to embrace the Sub-Contract model, we of course offer the “old School”, traditional Locum / Labour Hire Placement of our nominees and brokers to either sit at your desks or dial in remotely.
We have Australia’s only searchable database of Licensed Customs Brokers. Our brokers have over 600 years of combined experience with an average of greater than 16 service years, in all commodities and in all size organizations. This means we have the qualifications, capabilities and expertise a modern business expects and should be demanding from a collaborator offering professional Border Clearance services.
We do not Freight Forward.
