license and states that the customs
broker’s license examinations will be

observance, or other foreseeable event.
Due to the limited availability of
testing sites and to ensure the integrity
of exam conditions by preventing
commingling of the administration of
the broker exams with other types of
exams, CBP has decided to change the
regularly scheduled dates of the
examination. This document announces
