CSMS # 53697245 - Changes to 19 CFR 111: National Permit Transition Process U.S. Customs and Border Protection sent this bulletin at 10/20/2022 09:14 AM EDT   Cargo Systems Messaging Service CSMS # 53697245 - Changes to 19 CFR 111: National Permit Transition Process As detailed in the two published Final Rules: Modernization of the Customs Broker Regulations ( 87 FR 63267 ) and Elimination of Customs Broker District Permit Fee ( 87 FR 63262 ), CBP is eliminating customs broker districts and transitioning all brokers to a single permit framework, or national permit, that operates at the national level within the customs territory of the United States.  U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) Broker Management Officers (BMO) will facilitate this process and will transition the pool of approximately 370 brokers that currently transact customs business with ONLY a district permit to a national permit prior to the effective date of the Final Rules. CBP anticipates no lapse in active permits. Each broker transitioned will be notified when their ‘pending’ national permit has been created and given an opportunity to provide CBP with amended address and permit qualifier information. The transitioned national permits will be ‘active’ upon the Final Rule effective date. A list of the brokers CBP is transitioning can be found on the Broker Management Branch (BMB) Customs Broker Modernization Regulations webpage . If your brokerage name is not on the list but you believe it should be included, please reach out to the BMO at the port through which your license was issued. Customs brokers already operating with a national permit in place are not affected by this transition activity.   National permit applications will continue to be accepted and processed by the BMB until the effective date of the Final Rules. Upon effective date of the Final Rules national permit applications must be submitted to the processing Center through which the license was issued for processing. More information is available on the Customs Broker Modernization Regulations webpage .
