I'll start. Not to toot my own horn but I feel I'm at least partially responsible for getting a friend to see the value of romantic love, which she managed to find!

I actually am not; I just assumed that a customs broker was someone who brokers customs transportation for goods & supplies, for international shipping and the like.

Am I incorrect?

You mostly got it! You help take care of all the Customs details for clearing goods across borders. Also with classifying goods (almost every country uses the Harmonized Tariff System) and other regulations. Not so much with the transportation side although there is often a lot of crossover.
