Simply Trade [News]: Customs Broker Continuing Education Requirements Explained - Trudy Wilson
As a licensed customs broker, are you prepared for the new continuing education requirements coming in 2025? Get the inside scoop from an industry expert on what you need to know.
In this episode, we sit down with Trudy Wilson, an accredited instructor for Global Training Center and one of the five accreditors appointed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection to help implement the new continuing education program for customs brokers. Trudy breaks down the details of this landmark change, including key dates, credit requirements, approved course formats, and tips to help brokers make the most of this new opportunity.
Main Points/Takeaways:
- Starting January 1, 2025, all licensed customs brokers will be required to complete a minimum number of continuing education credits on a triennial basis to maintain their license.
- For the 2025-2027 triennial period, brokers will need to earn 20 credits. Going forward, the requirement will be 12 credits per year.
- Approved continuing education activities include live webinars, online self-guided courses, conferences, port tours, and more - as long as they meet the criteria set by the accreditors.
- Customs is collaborating closely with the private sector accreditors to ensure the program works for both the government and the trade community. This includes allowing a wide range of educational formats and topics.
- Brokers should work with their employers to understand training budgets and strategically choose courses that not only fulfill the requirements, but also expand their knowledge and skillsets.
