U.S. Customs and Border Protection will conduct its next customs broker license examination April 7 at various locations. All exam applications and fees must be received and accepted by CBP at the service port where the applicant intends to take the exam on or before the close of business March 8. Any applicant who files an application and subsequently wishes to withdraw from the exam must submit a written notice to the CBP service port where the application was originally tendered by the close of business April 2.
The broker license exam consists of 80 multiple-choice questions and a score of 75% is required to pass. Exam topics typically include entry, classification, country of origin, trade agreements, antidumping and countervailing duties, value, broker responsibilities, fines, penalties and forfeitures, protests, marking, prohibited and restricted merchandise, drawback, intellectual property rights and other subjects pertinent to a broker’s duties.
If an applicant achieves a passing score and wishes to apply to become a licensed customs broker, an application for customs broker license (form 3124), fingerprints, a current credit report and a license application fee of $200 will be required. To apply for a license, an applicant must be 21 years of age and a U.S. citizen at the time of the filing of the license application and not an officer or employee of the U.S. government.
