CBP Review Finds Few Cases of Reduced Time for Broker Exam Takers; Exam Posted

A CBP review of system issues for customs broker exam takers found few cases of reduced time, the agency said in a CSMS message. CBP recently said there were reports of problems with the electronic test on Oct. 8 (see 2010150034). “A thorough investigation was conducted and it was determined that there was no time lost for the majority of [Customs Broker License Examination] testers,” it said. “This means the majority of testers, regardless of delays[,] had access to the exam for the timeframe allotted.”

CBP posted the questions on the exam on Oct. 19. “It was crucial that the exam posting was delayed so a determination on the nature of the postponements could be determined,” it said. Individual results will be sent to test takers in three to five weeks, CBP estimated.
