Good morning!

Good morning! I need some advice on my career path. I've been in transportation and logistics for a while now, mostly dealing with final deliveries of the import shipments (20' and 40' container drayage). I'm thinking of getting a customs brokerage license to be able to work for freight forwarders, major importers or exporters, or US customs office. I understand that US customs broker exam is very hard to pass, but I'm up for a challenge. Do you think it's possible to pass it without any hands on experience with the important documentation, tariffs, etc. I'm planning on taking a course to prepare for the exam.

Do you think I that transition makes sense? Any advice will be appreciated.

    Gosh, this seems like a specialized career path.
    I'd be surprised if you found anyone who has taken the exam on this Fairygodboss site. I'd say you should ask more people who have taken that exam or work in that field. There may be some online forum for that industry. Good luck! Work hard and you'll get there!
