The Continuing Education for Licensed Customs Brokers regulation will go into effect in the coming months, enacting new requirements for individual licensed brokers. Under the new requirements, individual licensed customs brokers must earn 36 hours of continuing education credit every triennial period. Please note, CBP will not require the full 36 hours in the initial triennial period (2024 – 2027) because the initial CE triennial period began prior to the establishment of the CE Program. Further guidance on the required hours will be announced in the coming months via a Federal Register Notice and on this webpage.
CBP partnered with five entities to develop and implement accreditation standards for the Customs Broker Continuing Education (CE) program. All accredited educational activities will present two visible signifiers: the logo of the accrediting entity and a unique CBP Continuing Education logo.
Please note the following accreditation guidelines:
To be considered for CE credit, private sector activities should be submitted for accreditation to CBP’s five selected partner accreditors, listed below. A Federal Register Notice will be published, and an announcement will be posted here stating when the accreditors below will begin accepting submissions for CE activity accreditation from the private sector.
