The April 23, 2025 CBLE (Customs Broker License Exam) resulted in a 30% pass rate prior to appeal decisions. Previous pass rate information is listed below. The exam and answer key will be 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. The process can be lengthy, so be patient.

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. Let me suggest, however, that a better strategy may be to take the exam again in October.
