Initiative: Certified US Customs Broker (CUSCB) Program
Status: Information Gathering Underway

Based on inputs from current Customs Brokers and other trade related practitioners there’s a need to develop criteria and recurring requirements for a Certified US Customs Broker (CUSCB) Program. A base line for such a Certification would be individual successful completion of the Customs Broker Exam and Customer Broker licensing. The Certification Board of Governors (CBG) Ethics & Professional Standards Committee (EPSC) will develop and refine CUSCB Program standards, knowledge requirements and training content.

The EPSC will work with the trade industry and US Government in developing and refining criteria for this effort. Once the EPSC’s recommendation is complete, they will present a proposal to the CBG for review, approval and implementation. Once implemented, the CBG and EPSC will monitor and assess results of this initiative and the CUSCB Program’s standards, knowledge requirements and training content and make changes as/if necessary to insure goals are met and that the curriculum remains current, relevant and responsive.
