CSMS # 58723389 - 2024 Customs Broker Triennial Status Report and Fee Submission Begins December 18, 2023

Save Time, Submit Online

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announces that the submission period for the 2024 Customs Broker Triennial Status Report (TSR) and associated $100 filing fee for all licensed customs brokers opens December 18, 2023.

Who must submit the TSR?

A status report and fee must be submitted by each entity holding a valid broker's license (not revoked or canceled) issued any time prior to the 2024 calendar year, whether it may be a license for a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association, or individual.  An individually licensed Customs broker who forms a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or association which holds an organization broker license, will be required to submit two reports and fees - one for the individual license, and one for the organization license.

When is the TSR due to CBP?

The TSR and $100 fee is due by February 29, 2024.

How do I submit my TSR?

The TSR must be submitted online via the eCBP portal. A Login.gov ID allows brokers to file their own status report and one organization status report.  Brokers may not use their login.gov ID to file another individual’s status report. eCBP accepts credit card and debit card payments. No additional fees are charged for any payments, and receipts are provided electronically.

Is Continuing Education (CE) reporting required on the 2024 TSR?

Brokers DO NOT need to report CE credit hours in the 2024 Triennial Status Report. CBP will publish further guidelines on CE reporting requirements for the Triennial Status Report due in February 2027 in an upcoming Federal Register Notice.

What happens if I fail to submit my TSR timely?

Failure to file a TSR by March 1, 2024, will result in the suspension of the broker’s license by operation of law on that date. By March 31st of the reporting year, CBP will transmit written notice of the suspension to the broker. If the broker files the required report and pays the required fee within 60 calendar days of the date of the notice of suspension, the license will be reinstated. If the broker does not file the required report and pay the required fee within that 60-day period, the broker's license is revoked by operation of law without prejudice to the filing of an application for a new license. Notice of the revocation will be published in the Federal Register.
