On April 2, 2007, I took the U.S. Customs Broker License Examination here in Miami. I took the examination to get the license, which I hope to use, at least initially, to broaden and deepen my international law practice, with an enhanced knowledge of the substantive nitty-gritty of customs regulations and tariffs.
Preparing for the examination involved sending in an application with a $200 fee, spending several hundred additional dollars on books, and I also took a study course offered by Logistics Training System. I found this to be a very high quality product, both the books and the online study materials. I was also able to take an evening class with a licensed broker named Suzanne Medina, who impressed me with her level of enthusiasm and knowledge for the material.
The test is wash-out test. The pass rate, never high, varies from 3%-25%. One has to answer 75% of the questions on the test correctly. I optimistically believe I have passed, based on my notes I took during the test, and looking up the answers afterward.

You should have learned of your fate by now, how did it go? How did you coordinate bringing in all the books and materials allowed to take the test?
Sorry for the super-delayed response! I have been remiss. I am happy to say I passed with a 72/80 and as for getting the materials in to the test, I used a travel suitcase on wheels.
