Of the four choices below, who is responsible for including a statement in their triennial status report asserting whether he, she, or it still meets the applicable requirements of 19 CFR 111.11 and 111.19 to qualify for a customs broker license and national permit?

  1. A freight forwarder with a filer code authorized to file Importer Security Filing (ISF) data with CBP.
  2. An individual broker whose license was revoked by operation of law during the reporting period.
  3. A corporation with an active customs broker license and national permit.
  4. A self-filing importer who has a filer code but not a customs broker license.

CBP's answer: C. C: A corporation with an active customs broker license and national permit.

The triennial status report is a duty of licensed brokers, and for a corporation broker, 111.30(d)(3)(i) requires the report to cover the license qualifier and the national permit qualifier, and the report states whether it still meets the 111.11 and 111.19 requirements. A corporation with an active license and national permit is that kind of filer, so C is right. A freight forwarder with ISF authority, a broker whose license was already revoked, and a self-filing importer are not brokers filing that report.

Each partnership, association, or corporation broker must state in the report required under paragraph (d)(1) of this section 19 CFR 111.30(d)(3)(i)
