When you use a broker, he or she will communicate with customs in your name. The broker needs to prove to the customs that you are a legit person. That is why the broker asks you to fill the Power of Attorney document which includes your SSN and requests a copy of your valid photo ID. I have to tell you, that our company handles your personal information on the highest level of security. As TomKings Ltd. is based in the European Union, we are legally required to follow the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) rules. Therefore, we never share your confidential information with anyone besides our broker, Claudia. That is one of the reasons why we always work with the same broker, Claudia. We have done this process over a hundred times without any issues, and we completely trust her. You can bee sure that we are not only taking care of our puppies but also the data of our new family members as well! :) Read the post and comments in our Facebook Group Check out the "broker" tag in our Facebook Group
