What Are The Likely Customs Broker Exam Pass Rate For 2024?
The customs broker exam pass rate in 2024 continues to reflect how challenging the CBLE really is. Here's a quick look at what to expect:
May 2024 - Pass rate was 13%, with just 147 passing out of 1,132 candidates. October 2024 - Expected pass rate around 24%, thanks to a slightly simplified format (fewer answer choices).
Historically, pass rates range between 10%–25%, depending on the session. The CBLE is open-book but demanding, requiring deep knowledge of U.S. Customs laws, classification, and valuation.
With a 75% score needed to pass, preparation and smart time management are key. Expect the 2024 average to fall in the 15–20% range.
