Customs Broker Permit User Fee Changes Take Effect October 1, 2026
CBP has issued guidance detailing changes to customs broker permit user fees that become effective October 1, 2026. The notice provides information brokers and their importer clients need to understand regarding updated fee structures applicable to licensed broker operations.
Our position is that these fee changes are an operational cost factor we are accounting for in our own licensing and permit maintenance; the compliance date is October 1, 2026.
