Registration for the April 23, 2025 Customs Broker License Exam (CBLE) opened on February 10th. The exam is notoriously difficult to pass so, if you plan to sit for it, don’t procrastinate. You have a little more than 60 days to prepare and you will need them all.
The CBLE pass rates were 24% in October 2024, 13% in May 2024, and 34% in October 2023. In previous years the rates were typically less than 15%.
For comparison purposes, the pass rate for the 2023 bar exam in the US was about 58%. Most law students take the exam shortly after completing three years of law school, however, while CBLE candidates may have been out of school for some time.
CPA- Certified Public Accountant and CFA- Chartered Financial Analyst exam pass rates vary by section but are usually around 50-60%.
