For the quarter that began July 1, the interest rates for overpayments are 4% for corporations and 5% for non-corporations, and the interest rate for underpayments is 5% for both corporations and non-corporations. That's up from 3%, 4% and 4% in the previous quarter, respectively. These interest rates are subject to change for the following quarter, CBP said.
CBP should not require “comprehensive supply chain mapping” as part of its requirements for the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism forced labor component, and should update the requirements so that mapping is done via a risk-based approach, said Kerry Novak, who sits on the Commercial Customs Operations Advisory Committee’s Secure Trade Lanes Subcommittee, in recommendations she read at the COAC’s June 29 meeting.

CBP’s April 2022 customs broker license exam had a 39.6% pass rate, which is “relatively high compared to past examinations,” according to a document posted by CBP for the June 29 Commercial Customs Operations Advisory Committee meeting. Despite having offered the exam remotely for its April and October 2021 exams, the April 2022 exam was only offered at on-site testing centers, the document said. CBP is “committed to bringing back the remote exam option,” and is currently looking at lessons from its two previous exams for future implementation, Brandon Lord, CBP deputy executive director-trade policy & programs, said at the meeting.
