Training Subsidies for NYC Based Customs Brokers & Logistic Providers

Our Customs Broker License Examination (CBLE) classes and case-specific international trade support may have become more affordable for small and medium businesses in New York City.

New York City based brokers and forwarders that are interested in Customs Broker License Examination (CBLE) training or any other CBP related training for their employees should be aware of current subsidies available for them through “Customized Training Grant Program” of NYC Department of Small Business Services (SBS).

Folks at SBS run a series of webinars, which are followed by presentation slides. According to the presentation, businesses can get up to 85% of reimbursements for training under the best case scenario. Although general figure seems to be about 48%.

More information about the program and deadlines are available at the following SBS links:

We are planning to run classes in January 2022 for April 22 CBLE. Hopefully, we’ll be also conducting CBLE appeal lectures. Additionally, we just rolled out updated versions of our U.S. Customs Broker License Examination Preparation Guides. Even if you are a small business, combination of 10 employees from multiple parties can get you started. If we can help facilitate SBS dialogue, please let us know.
