CBP ISSUES FINAL RULES TO ELIMINATE CUSTOMS BROKER DISTRICT PERMIT FEE AND MODERNIZE ITS CUSTOMS BROKER REGULATIONS
November 22, 2022
On October 18, 2022, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) published two final rules to amend CBP regulations to eliminate customs broker district permit fees and modernize CBP’s Customs Broker Regulations. The new rules will modernize operations by instituting changes to broker fees and expanding the forms of accepted payment to include electronic options. CBP also plans to update and modernize broker reporting and the Automated Commercial Environment capabilities in the broker account portal to align with the new regulations. CBP also noted that to recover a portion of the costs of licensing, it will raise customs broker license application fees for all applicants.
Both final rules will go into effect on December 19, 2022.
