The April 2023 CBLE (Customs Broker License Exam) resulted in a 5.5% pass rate prior to appeal decisions. This rate is much lower that the previous two exams (11.1% in October 2022 and 39.6% in April 2022). I continue to wonder if low pass rates are what CBP wants. The exam and answer key are posted on the CBP website.

Congratulations to all who passed ! You are now eligible to go through the application process, background check, and fingerprinting to obtain your license.

Many brokers have needed more than one try, so don’t be discouraged if you came up short. If you want to challenge any of the questions here is the link explaining how to appeal.
