If you or someone else in your organization is a Licensed Customs Broker, then you or they must complete accredited Continuing Education to maintain it. 20 Continuing Education (CE) hours are required for all licensed customs brokers during the current triennial period that ends on January 31st, 2027 – just over two years away. Thereafter, it will be 36 hours per period.
A number of CE credit-eligible educational activities will be offered by CBP, partner government agencies, and private entities as of January 1st, 2025, to help LCBs attain the necessary CE hours, including:
- Industry or trade-related conferences, seminars, and webinars
- Online, self-administered courses (also known as asynchronous trainings)
- Company trainings (internally developed or offered by an outside vendor)
- Port tours
- Trade days sponsored by CBP and local associations
Updates and CE activities will be posted here in the coming months.
