What this diagnostic measures. This diagnostic tests 19 CFR Part 190 drawback: direct identification versus substitution drawback, the 8-digit HTSUS substitution standard, the 5-year claim filing window, and the categories of drawback CBP recognizes. On the exam itself this slot, Category III, was renamed from Modernized Drawback to Quota starting with the October 2025 administration and now runs 4 of 80 questions, down from 5; this site's bank still tags its Part 190 drawback questions under the Modernized Drawback label the category carried through April 2025.

How scoring works. Each question scores instantly against the governing citation, and the runner tracks your percentage correct across all 7 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. This is the smallest category on the exam by question count, so a weak score here costs less overall score than a weak score in Entry and Entry Summary or Valuation. It is still worth clearing once, since the drawback rules (the substitution standard and the claim deadline in particular) are compact enough to master in a single focused session.

Next steps. Read the [modernized drawback guide](/guides/modernized-drawback-part-190/), confirm the drawback claim window against the [key deadlines reference](/key-deadlines/), then move on to a higher-weight category if time is limited.
