What is a power of attorney?

A power of attorney (PoA) is written authorization to represent or act on another's behalf in business, private affairs or other legal matters.

In terms of clearance for import and export, a signed PoA enables FedEx to act on behalf of our customers when filing customs declarations and all related actions.

When using FedEx International Broker Select, commodity acceptability and restrictions vary per country. Where applicable, FedEx may charge an ancillary clearance fee on international shipments for clearance processing, services requested and disbursing duties and taxes. The types of fees and amounts vary per country. Check out our ancillary clearance services fees for the country you’re shipping to.
