On November 1, 2024, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) published Federal Register Notice (FRN) 89 FR 87387, announcing that customs brokers can soon begin earning credits under the new CBP Continuing Education (CE) Program.
To maintain an active license, individually licensed brokers must earn 20 CE credits from qualifying educational activities that occur beginning January 1, 2025, through January 31, 2027. January 31, 2027, is the end of the current triennial period.
The CE program aims to ensure all CBP licensed brokers remain up to date on evolving customs rules and relevant U.S. trade laws to facilitate compliant trade in the modern environment, while acting as an additional layer of security against illegal trade from entering the U.S. commerce.
