Please tell non-USA people can they give this LCB exam or not?
Hi there! You must be a US citizen to take the exam.
Hello- would you be able to list links of required materials to take the exam? Books etc.
Hi Sandra! I'm reluctant to provide links because the specific items required for the exam change each time. CBP links to them on their "License Examination Notice" page, under the "Reference Materials" part. www.cbp.gov/trade/programs-administration/customs-brokers/license-examination-notice-examination
You can purchase the materials from anywhere, including Amazon or the Government Printing Office or SavQuick, once you're sure they're the right editions.
do i need to be US citizen to apply this US broker license? and which is the largest employer will hire me if i get this qualification? thank you
You do need to be a US citizen to get your US Customs Brokers License. Many places will hire licensed customs brokers, including firms that do brokerage, and many large companies that import and want knowledgeable in-house compliance staff.
How many hours a week should one study for the exam? I ask because I am a full time student
Hi Delfino! This answer is going to vary from person to person. It'll depend on things like your test-taking prowess, how familiar you are with the regulations and classification, and how long you've been prepping. If you're only prepping for ~ 10 weeks before the exam, I'd plan to study for 10-20 hours per week. Some of that time will be reading, some will be answering questions, some will be prepping your materials by highlighting and tabbing and making margin notes to help you cross-reference. Some may be watching videos on topics and taking notes!
Hi where can I get some practice exam
Good morning! CBP posts some recent exams on their website here. www.cbp.gov/document/publications/past-customs-broker-license-examinations-answer-keys
Why are government employees prohibited from taking the exam? Can't we just take it, pass it, and then decide if and when we want to be a broker?
Hi Chris! This is a great question, and one I can't give you the logic of because we weren't part of making the rule. We've had that question a time or two when we've proctored exams for government employees. The rule is in 19 CFR 111.13(b), where it lays out the requirements for taking the exam.
@@StarUSAInc Thank you. Makes me sad. I started working recently for the TSA and hadn't intended to give up my desire to get my customs broker's license. I know that as a TSA agent I may have the opportunity to transfer into the CBP agency, but it would be in a different role, I'm pretty sure. I hope CBP changes its policy.
@@clicknetusa FYI you don't need to have a broker's license to work for CBP, just to work as a licensed customs broker who reports information to CBP. Congratulations on your TSA job!
