# As a seller, can I still act as a buyer's agent?

Learn how a seller can act as a buyer's agent while not being the importer of record.

Yes, as a seller you can choose not to be the importer of record but still act as the buyer's agent. In this case, you will collect the customs duty and import tax up front on behalf of the buyer and then pay the shipper all necessary charges for the item(s) to clear through customs.

Do this by specifying delivery terms of `DDP` and also specifying `false` for `isSellerImporterOfRecord`.
