October 2025 Electronic Customs Brokerage Examination

This comprehensive course is designed to prepare candidates for the U.S. Customs Broker License Examination (CBLE) administered by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The program provides a structured, practical approach to mastering the complex regulations, tariff classification, valuation principles, and brokerage responsibilities tested on the exam. Students will learn how to efficiently navigate the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), 19 CFR regulations, and CBP procedures in a time-pressured environment.

CBLE 101 -Introduction

This course is the starting point for anyone preparing for the U.S. Customs Broker License Examination (CBLE). This course explains how the CBLE works, what U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) expects candidates to know, and how to study efficiently using the core reference materials and regulations tested on the exam.

CBLE 102 - Regulations

This course is a core CBLE prep course focused on the federal regulations and procedural rules that govern customs brokerage and import compliance. You’ll learn how to quickly locate the right rules, interpret regulatory language, and apply it to common exam-style scenarios—so you’re not just memorizing sections, you’re using them correctly.

CBLE 103 - Classification

This course will teach you how to classify imported goods correctly using the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS)—one of the most heavily tested skills on the Customs Broker License Exam. You’ll learn the structure of the HTSUS and how to apply the General Rules of Interpretation (GRIs) to real-world product descriptions so you can reach accurate headings, subheadings, and duty rates.

CBLE 104 - Valuation

This course teaches you valuation and how to determine the correct customs value of imported merchandise—so duties, fees, and entry documentation are calculated properly and consistently with CBP rules. Because valuation is a heavily tested CBLE topic, this course focuses on the valuation hierarchy and how to apply the right method to real exam-style fact patterns.

CBLE 105 - Entry Procedures

This course will teach you the step-by-step process for getting merchandise legally entered and released through U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)—a major focus area on the Customs Broker License Exam. You’ll learn how entries are filed, what documents are required, how time limits work, and how brokers ensure compliance from arrival to release and final duty liquidation.

CBLE 106 - Broker Duties & Ethics

This course will focus upon the legal responsibilities, professional standards, and compliance rules that govern licensed Customs Brokers—one of the most tested areas on the CBLE. This course teaches you what CBP expects from brokers in real practice and how those expectations show up in exam fact patterns.

CBLE 107 - Duty Assessment

This course teaches you how CBP calculates duties and fees—and how to determine what is owed based on classification, value, origin, and special program eligibility. Because duty questions often combine multiple concepts, this course focuses on a clear, step-by-step method you can apply to CBLE-style fact patterns.

CBLE 108 - Special Trade Programs & Protest/Penalties

This course prepares you for the CBLE topics that often trip candidates up: preferential trade programs and the rules for challenging CBP actions or dealing with enforcement issues. You’ll learn when special programs can reduce or eliminate duties, what documentation and eligibility rules apply, and how to spot red flags that create penalties exposure.
