SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
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
broker’s 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 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. 19 CFR 111.11 sets forth
the basic requirements for a broker’s
license and, 19 CFR 111.11 (a)(4),
provides that an applicant for an
individual broker’s license must attain a
passing grade (75 percent or higher) on
a written examination.
19 CFR 111.13 sets forth the
requirements and procedures for the
written examination for an individual
broker’s license and states that written
customs broker license examinations
will be given on the first Monday in
April and October unless the regularly
scheduled examination date conflicts
with a national holiday, religious
observance, or other foreseeable event.
CBP recognizes that the first Monday
in October 2015 coincides with the
observance of the religious holiday of
Shemini Atzeret. In consideration of
this conflict, CBP has decided to change
the regularly scheduled date of the
examination. This document announces
that CBP has scheduled the October
2015 broker license examination for
Wednesday, October 7, 2015.
