Becoming a customs broker is a career that requires knowledge and skills in customs regulations, logistics, and international trade. In order to become a customs broker, several requirements must be met. <\/p>\n

**First and foremost, one must pass the U.S. Customs Broker License Examination. This exam is administered by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and tests applicants on a variety of topics including customs law, tariff classification, and valuation.**<\/p>\n

In addition to passing the exam, there are a few other steps that must be taken to become a customs broker. One must be a U.S. citizen, at least 18 years of age, and have a clean criminal record. They must also have a high school diploma or equivalent.<\/p>\n
