U.S. Customs and Border Protection has set Jan. 30, 2026, as the due date for payment of the annual customs broker permit user fee, which for 2026 will be $185.38 (up from $180.57).
This fee is assessed for each customs broker permit held by an individual, partnership, association, or corporation. It is payable for each calendar year for a national permit held by a broker and may be submitted through either the eCBP portal or at the processing Center. If it is not paid on time the permit is revoked by operation of law.
CBP will hold its next exam for those seeking to obtain a customs broker license in spring 2026. ST&R offers a comprehensive course designed to prepare participants to pass this historically difficult exam. Click here for more information or to register for this course, which begins Jan. 26.
