According to CBP, exam topics typically include: Entry; Classification; Trade Agreements; Valuation; Broker Compliance; Power of Attorney; Marking; Drawback; Bonds; Foreign Trade Zones; Warehouse Entries; Intellectual Property Rights; and other subjects pertinent to a broker’s duties.
Further, the Customs Broker License Examination is a four and half hour long, open book test, consisting of 80 multiple-choice questions based on designated editions of:
  • The Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS)
  • Title 19, Code of Federal Regulations
  • Specified Customs Directives
  • Customs and Trade Automated Interface Requirements document (CATAIR)
We have reviewed all the questions set in the past 20 exams over the last 10 years (from April 2008 to April 2017) and identified the 16 tested topics with relative percentage of questions asked from each topic. This information is arranged in descending order of importance on our blog @ Customs Broker Exam Prep.

How do you really know when you’re ready to take the Customs Broker Exam?

Typically, candidates prepare for the Customs Broker Exam by taking classes, reading relevant material, and taking old practice tests. When they pass a few old practice tests, they feel that they might be ready to take the actual exam. There are several problems with this subjective approach to determining a level of preparedness. Test takers may: pass some practice tests now, but forget information over time and see their level of preparedness drop by the time they take the actual exam. pass some of the easier old exams but fail a more difficult one. not take the practice exams under timed conditions, leading to erroneous results. not take enough practice exams to get reliable feedback. feel complacent when they repeat the same exams and pass them, but possibly fail a new exam.

What is a Special Examination for The Customs Broker License?

The regular  Customs Broker Exam  is held twice a year 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 in which case the CBP will publish an appropriate notice of a change in the examination date in the Federal Register. However, in circumstances where a brokerage is at risk of losing its license by operation of law before the next scheduled examination, CBP may, at the request of the brokerage and on payment of the associated expenses, conduct a special examination for the Customs Broker License, for a prospective applicant for an individual license, who would serve as the required licensed member or officer for the brokerage. Under § 111.11(b) to qualify for a broker’s license, a partnership must have at least one member of the partnership who is a broker. Under § 111.11 © to qualify for a broker’s license, an association or corporation must have
