On September 23, 2026, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) published a bulletin via its Cargo Systems Messaging Service (CSMS) reminding licensed customs brokers to complete required continuing education credits.

Brokers with an "active license" will need to certify completion of 20 hours of continuing education in the 2027 Triennial Status Report. 

The deadline to complete the continuing education credit requirement is January 31, 2027.
