If you are a Licensed Customs Broker (LCB), it is a good idea to have a strategy in place to fulfill your continuing education requirement. Here is a reminder from the CBP website:

To maintain an active license, individually licensed brokers must earn 20 CE credits from qualifying educational activities that occur beginning January 1, 2025 through January 31, 2027. January 31, 2027 is the end of the current triennial period.

I have started gaining credits by registering and participating in Trade Outreach Webinars hosted by CBP. These are free of charge and there are a number of webinars to choose from each month. I must admit that some of the topics do not apply to my clients’ commodities. However, I am learning something from each webinar, which is the goal of continuing education, and avoiding a scramble toward the end of the triennial period.

Why not get started now? Here is the link for Trade Outreach Webinars:
