Continuing Education / Accreditation

Partner Accreditor with U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP)

ICPA is honored to be one of the five partner accreditors to support the Continuing Education (CE) program for licensed customs brokers. CBP published Final Rule 88 FR 41224 to amend CBP regulations to require 36 hours of CE for individual customs broker license holders per triennial period. During the current triennial period from 2024 through 2027, CBP will pro-rate the number of CE hours required. This will be announced in a Federal Register notice that is expected this Fall. 

Once CBP publishes additional guidance on the accreditation process, you will be able to request accreditation for continued education on this page through our automated portal that is being developed. For more information, we direct you to CBP’s CE webpage or email our Continuing Education Committee at CETeam@icpainc.org.

ICPA has been a leader in trade compliance education for over 20 years and honored to be selected as a Partner Accreditor to collaborate with CBP on this important initiative. With over 3,000 members and 50% estimated to be licensed customs brokers, we are excited to serve our membership in this new capacity.
