As a previous broker having open and detailed communication with our customers, it was not hard to explain the simple 'expectations' for cross border shipments - some exceptions apply.
There is an expectation that a shipment is set upto cross 2 hours after paperwork is received by any customs broker. Should a driver arrive to the border after this time we would allow 1 HOUR maximum for the driver to get through, any time beyond that (which is caused by a delay of the customs broker handling their piece of the puzzle) is billable. Yes there would always have to be the proper calls, and notifications at whatever interval the client wanted. I never really had any pushback.
Keep well,
Mike
