What you get
The Customs Broker License Exam is 80 multiple-choice questions in 270 minutes, and CBP passes a candidate at 75% (60 of 80). A practice score is a guide to what to revise, not a prediction of your result.
- 4 real CBP exams, 80 questions each (April 2026, October 2025, April 2025, October 2024), with CBP's own answer key and citation in each explanation.
- 270 minutes on the clock, the length of the real exam, one paper at a time, in the full test player: question palette, mark for review, submit summary.
- Every answer explained, with the rule and the source behind it (19 CFR, the HTSUS or CBP's ACE documents), and for most questions why the other options do not fit.
- The practical exercises, with the exam's own forms, invoices and calendars shown with the question.
- Your score by exam category after each paper, with the time you spent on each question, so you know what to revise.
How the answer keys are scored here
The questions and keys are CBP's published ones. Where CBP's published key accepts two answers (for example B and D), either one scores here, and the review shows both. Where it credits every examinee for a question (CBP's "All examinees granted credit"), any answer you save for that question scores here; a question you leave unanswered does not. CBP does not change a published key after appeal decisions, so a key is CBP's answer at the time.
Before you buy
What do I get?
4 past CBLE papers as CBP published them: 80 questions each, with CBP's answer key and citation in each explanation. Sit a whole paper against the 270-minute clock in the full test player and get your score out of 80, by exam category and question by question. Retake a paper as often as you like.
Are these the real exam questions?
Yes. They are the questions and keys U.S. Customs and Border Protection has published on its website, which, under CBP's copyright notice, are in the public domain unless a copyright is indicated (none is indicated on the papers or keys); each explanation cites the CBP publication and question number. The explanations are ours.
Which editions of the HTSUS and 19 CFR do the answers use?
Each paper's cover page lists the references it was set on, and the explanations quote those editions. Rules change, so check any current rule against the current Title 19 and HTSUS, and check the references CBP lists for the sitting you register for.
Is a practice score a prediction?
No. CBP passes a candidate at 75%, which is 60 of 80. A practice score is a guide to what to revise.
How do I pay and get access?
One payment by card (or PayPal where offered), handled by our payment provider. In the United States the price is charged in US dollars; in other countries in your own currency where we support it, otherwise in Indian rupees with the local figure shown as an estimate. Access opens on this device straight after payment. Sign in afterwards to keep it on your account. Purchase policy.
