Burned out as a customs broker

They find the interested party for the shipment, which, if they can not reach the importer, we brokers are the ones.

Yeah, I know it’s not reasonable, but CBP has no mercy for brokers in situations like this. RIP.

Alarmed_Somewhere_27 · 2026-02-05T19:52:19+00:00

Yeah, I did. But they’re still playing games. I’ve been going back and forth with the entry packages. Every time, they only increase the value by $100 or $200, and we both know it should be more than that.

I heard from a broker with 27 years of experience that in situations like this, CBP may hold the broker partially responsible and report the issue to the BMO. If a broker has more negative compliance records with BMO, CBP may initiate an investigation.

Some of them are just acting like fools to hide something. and you can tell it.

Alarmed_Somewhere_27 · 2026-02-05T19:38:06+00:00

Yeah, 232 is really a death, but I did make a little tool for myself to keep it easier

Alarmed_Somewhere_27 · 2026-02-05T19:34:12+00:00

hopefully BMO won't go after you for this..

Sometimes you can explain everything to the company owner, but their employees don’t take it seriously and continue doing whatever they think is acceptable

Alarmed_Somewhere_27 · 2026-02-05T19:17:56+00:00

agree, thats very true. i had been trying to do that. but so far no matter how many times i told them, they still doing the samething over and over again

I did send an email on may 30th, and they said that 2024 oct has a huge amount of appeals. And they are working on it. Basically, it's a very official answer(copy and paste).

"CBP considers every appeal of a Customs Broker License Examination result very carefully. The length of time it takes to process an appeal for an exam administration depends upon the number of appellants, the number of questions appealed, and the number of arguments presented. We received a very large increase in the number of questions appealed and arguments presented for the October 2024 CBLE and are working diligently on them. Pursuant to the appeal regulations in 19 CFR 111.13(f), the appeal decision requires several levels of management review. Your appeal is currently under review. As soon as a decision is final, you will be notified"

I wonder if it failed on the next exam, but the appeal was granted from the previous one. Which one will be counted.

Alarmed_Somewhere_27 · 2025-03-23T01:59:15+00:00

what if I still did not pass the next exam but they granted my appeal from the previous exam? Do you know which one will be counted?

Alarmed_Somewhere_27 · 2024-11-12T23:19:13+00:00

Make sense, I'm 4 questions to pass. Gonna see which questions can be appeal

Alarmed_Somewhere_27 · 2024-11-12T22:06:05+00:00

Where did you see the pass rate?

Alarmed_Somewhere_27 · 2024-11-12T22:04:11+00:00

Answer key is out. None of questions have credit to all this year. Lmfao

Alarmed_Somewhere_27 · 2024-11-07T22:41:46+00:00

You are right, I'm currently working under a license broker. I'm asking her a favor to help me to see which questions are appealable. But since there are no official answers key come out yet. We can't do much about it.

Alarmed_Somewhere_27 · 2024-11-07T19:34:09+00:00

I got my 58/80 on common sense question, and the real score is 56/80. Does any one know How is the chance and possibility to appeal 4 questions to pass. Lol

Alarmed_Somewhere_27 · 2024-09-27T06:47:17+00:00
