This document proposes to amend the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations to remove all references to customs broker district permit fees. Concurrently with this notice, CBP is publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking to, among other things, eliminate customs broker districts. (See Modernization of the Customs Broker Regulations RIN 1651-AB16). Specifically, CBP proposes to transition all brokers to national permits and to expand the scope of the national permit authority to allow national permit holders to conduct any type of customs business throughout the customs territory of the United States. By transitioning to a national permit, CBP also proposes to eliminate the requirements for brokers to maintain district permits. As a result, CBP proposes the conforming amendments discussed in this document to eliminate all references to broker district permit fees.
