Key Changes

Transitioning to a National Permit Framework — eliminated broker districts and district permits.

Brokers must execute a Power of Attorney (POA) directly with the importer of record — no third-party barrier to communication.

Cybersecurity & records: brokers must notify CBP of electronic or physical record breaches and maintain records within US customs territory.

4

Responsible Supervision & Control expanded to 13 factors — including training programs, audit schedules, and CBP communication responsiveness.

5

Broker reporting via ACE Portal — employee updates, office of record, recordkeeping point of contact, and 24/7 contact info.

6

Knowledgeable 24/7 point of contact required — available to CBP during and outside normal business hours.

7

License application fee increased from $200 to $300. Electronic submission of applications and fees now allowed.
