Licensed Custom Broker Continuing Education 2026 Learning Path

Course Overview

The Supply Chain and Logistics Learning Path for U.S. Customs Brokers delivers a comprehensive, CBP-accredited curriculum designed to strengthen both foundational knowledge and practical expertise across global trade operations. Spanning ten in-depth courses, the program begins with core concepts in import-export processes, supply chain logistics, and transportation fundamentals, including ocean and air cargo. Learners build essential technical skills such as cargo transportation calculations, unit conversions, and shipment planning, while gaining a clear understanding of how goods move through complex international supply chains. The curriculum also explores supply chain security, risk management strategies, and the critical role of logistics providers and intermediaries in ensuring efficient and compliant trade.

Building on this foundation, the learning path dives deeper into the regulatory and operational responsibilities of licensed customs brokers. Courses cover U.S. import requirements, customs clearance procedures, and the broker’s role in coordinating transactions, managing documentation, and maintaining compliance with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations. Learners will also examine Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) regulations, including recent reforms impacting ocean shipping, as well as cargo risk management and insurance principles that protect shipments financially and physically. With all ten courses accredited for CBP Continuing Education, this learning path not only supports ongoing professional development but also equips customs brokers with the knowledge and practical skills needed to operate confidently and effectively in today’s global trade environment—while offering the added value of bundled, cost-effective pricing compared to purchasing courses individually.
