CSMS # 53671095 - Final Rule Published: Modernized Customs Broker Regulations and Changes to 19 CFR 111

Today, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) published two Final Rules that update provisions in 19 CFR 111: Modernization of the Customs Broker Regulations (87 FR 63267) and Elimination of Customs Broker District Permit Fee (87 FR 63262). Final Rule effective date is December 19, 2022.

Key changes in the Final Rules include:

Transitioning to a national permit framework
Changing broker fees and expanding forms of payment
Transitioning broker reporting capabilities from Legacy ACE Portal to the Modernized ACE Portal
Establishing that customs business is conducted within the U.S. customs territory and requiring brokers to designate a knowledgeable point of contact
Revising the broker/client relationship requirements
Updating responsible supervision and control oversight requirements
Strengthening cyber security and records requirements

To ensure a smooth transition and to socialize changes in the new regulations, CBP created a dedicated webpage with information and resources on the changes to 19 CFR 111. The Office of Trade’s Broker Management Branch will be hosting public webinars in the coming weeks to discuss the changes and allow participants to ask questions.
