SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Section 641 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1641),
provides that a person (an individual, corporation, association, or
partnership) must hold a valid customs broker's license and permit in
order to transact customs business on behalf of others, sets forth
standards for the issuance of brokers' licenses and permits, and
provides for the taking of disciplinary action against brokers that
have engaged in specified types of infractions. This section also
provides that an examination may be conducted to assess an applicant's
qualifications for a license.
The regulations issued under the authority of section 641 are set
forth in title 19 of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 111 (19 CFR
part 111). Part 111 sets forth the regulations regarding the licensing
of, and granting of permits to, persons desiring to transact customs
business as customs brokers. These regulations also include the
qualifications required of applicants and the procedures for applying
for licenses and permits. Section 111.11 of the CBP regulations (19 CFR
111.11) sets forth the basic requirements for a broker's license, and
in paragraph (a)(4) of that section provides that an applicant for an
individual broker's license must attain a passing grade (75 percent or
higher) on the examination.
Section 111.13 of the CBP regulations (19 CFR 111.13) sets forth
the requirements and procedures for the examination for an individual
broker's license and states that the customs broker's license
examinations will be given on the fourth Wednesday in April and October
unless the regularly scheduled examination date conflicts with a
national holiday, religious observance, or other foreseeable event.
The regularly scheduled examination date for April 2024 (Wednesday,
April 24, 2024) coincides with the observance of the religious holiday
of Passover. In consideration of this conflict, CBP has decided to
change the regularly scheduled date of the examination. As a result,
this document announces that CBP will hold the customs broker's license
examination on Wednesday, May 1, 2024.

Acting Executive Assistant Commissioner, Office of Trade.
