Broker Compliance diagnostic

Quick answer

What does the Broker Compliance diagnostic measure?

It drills the regulatory framework governing how a licensed broker operates: 19 CFR Part 111 responsibilities and recordkeeping, bond types, penalty structure and prior disclosure, IPR enforcement, marking, and antidumping and countervailing duty administration. It is Category I on the CBLE, worth 17 of the exam's 80 questions (about 21 percent) on the April 22, 2026 paper.

Every original question in the bank tagged Broker Compliance, in one focused run. 19 CFR Part 111 broker licensing and conduct, bonds, recordkeeping, penalties, IPR, marking, and antidumping and countervailing duty administration: the second-largest category on the April 2026 exam. Instant feedback and the governing citation after each question, your progress saved on this device.

What this diagnostic measures. This diagnostic tests the regulatory framework that governs how a licensed broker actually operates: 19 CFR Part 111 broker responsibilities and recordkeeping, customs bond types and amounts, the civil penalty structure under 19 USC 1592 and its prior-disclosure relief, intellectual property rights enforcement, country-of-origin marking, and antidumping and countervailing duty administration. It is the exam's broadest category by subject matter even though Entry and Entry Summary carries more questions.

How scoring works. Each question scores instantly against the governing citation, and the runner tracks your percentage correct across all 28 questions in this category. The 75 percent bar shown is the real CBLE's overall passing mark, used here as a study target, not an official per-category cutoff: CBP does not publish or apply a separate pass mark for any single one of the six categories, only the overall 60-of-80 score.

How to read your result. Because Broker Compliance draws from more than a dozen distinct 19 CFR parts, a low score here rarely points to one weak topic. Check which questions you missed by sub-topic (bonds versus penalties versus recordkeeping) before assuming the whole category needs review; the wrong bond amount and the wrong penalty cap are different gaps with different fixes.

Next steps. Review the [Part 111 broker compliance guide](/guides/part-111-broker-compliance/), [customs bonds](/guides/customs-bonds/), [customs penalties and prior disclosure](/guides/customs-penalties-and-prior-disclosure/), and [recordkeeping](/guides/recordkeeping-part-163/) guides, then retake this diagnostic before moving to the full mock exam.
