Which term refers to any person who is a bona fide holder of a valid Certificate of Registration/Professional Identification Card issued under the Customs Brokers Act of 2004?

• A. Carrier
• B. Customs Broker
• C. Entry
• D. Clearance

Answer: (B)

The main idea is who is authorized to handle customs formalities for importers or exporters under the Customs Brokers Act. A person who holds a valid Certificate of Registration and Professional Identification Card is authorized to act as an intermediary with the customs authority, preparing and filing documents, classifying goods, calculating duties, and representing clients in dealings with customs. This is what a Customs Broker does, so that term is the correct one. A carrier is the transport operator that moves goods. An entry is the formal document or filing submitted to customs. Clearance is the release of goods by customs after review and payment of duties. These roles describe different parts of the process, not the licensed professional who performs broker duties.
