Role of the Broker |
Broker Regulation Redesign Current broker regulations have not kept up with advancements in technology and the facilitation goals of the agency. CBP is attempting to address this through amendments to the regulations that will-- Clarify brokers’ responsibilities related to importer validation and provide greater visibility of importers.
- Modernize the regulations to align with current electronic capabilities and business practices. These modernizations could result in decreased administrative costs for both CBP and customs brokers.
- Reinforce the broker’s responsibility to exercise due diligence in conducting business and to “professionalize” the customs broker by introducing a continuing education requirement.
