  1. Viewing a one-hour recording of a CBP webinar offered to prepare registered CBLE examinees for exam-day procedures.

Show the answer and walk-through

CBP's answer: C. C: Giving a one-hour lecture on duty refund opportunities for educational institutions at a convention for educators and university procurement officers. The lecture and the convention have been approved for continuing broker education credit by a CBP-selected accreditor, prior to being held.

A one-hour lecture at a convention counts when a CBP-selected accreditor approved it before it was held (111.103(a)(1)(ii)), and presenting at a convention is a recognized activity, so C is right. A is a CBP webinar for exam registrants, not relevant to a broker's customs education. B was only going to seek approval after the session. D is preparation for a self-guided online course, but preparation counts only for seminars, workshops, symposia or conventions.

unless the training or educational activity has been approved for continuing education credit by a CBP-selected accreditor before the training or educational activity is provided 19 CFR 111.103(a)(1)(ii)
The preparation of a subject matter for presentation as an instructor, discussion leader, or speaker at a training or educational activity described in paragraph (a)(2)(i) or (a)(2)(ii) of this section 19 CFR 111.103(a)(2)(iv)
