CBP Adopts Final Rule on Broker Exam Changes

CBP issued a final rule (here) that largely adopts the updates to the customs broker exam that the agency proposed last year (see 1609130032). The changes will help "modernize" the exam by allowing for automation, increasing the fee and adjusting the dates, it said. In response to some comments on the proposal (see 1611170030), CBP said it would maintain the ability to administer special licensing exams outside of the designated dates and would schedule exams for the fourth Wednesday, rather than Monday, in April and October.
