The October 2025 customs broker license exam has come and gone.


If you are new to the world of customs brokers, the exam is a nation-wide, two-times a year, comprising of 80 questions and takes 4.5 hours to complete.


Upon successfully scoring a 75% or higher, you will become licensed by the US federal government, Customs and Border Protection (CBP), to assist importers, companies and individuals with the importation of their goods.


An LCB is a highly desired import-export credential and is well regarded in the global trade profession.


With the license, you can work for freight forwarding, logistics, and customs brokerage companies.


One person who just sat for the exam is Zachary Helms of North Carolina.

We also dive-deep on his test-preparation and what third-party customs broker study program he chose and why.
