CBP Releases New Fact Sheet on Broker Separation From Client Reporting

The fact sheet includes examples of reportable client offenses taken from CBP’s recent customs broker guidance for the trade community (see 2210190054 and 2212290052), as well as information on the elements required to trigger the reporting requirement, how brokers should report to CBP and the required information that brokers must include in their reports to CBP.
The new requirements were included in CBP’s customs broker modernization final rule issued in October (see 2210170071). “CBP distinguishes these scenarios from situations where a broker advises the client on the proper corrective actions required (19 CFR 111.39), the client follows and completes the corrective actions, and the broker determines it is unnecessary to separate from the client,” the agency said.
