Notice of Revocation of Customs Brokers' National Permits

📌 ETDETA brief — importer impact summary (educational)

Brief takeaway: The notice announces that certain customs brokers lost their national permits automatically because a required 2025 fee was not paid.

What changed: According to the notice, certain customs brokers' national permits have been revoked by operation of law. The notice states this revocation resulted from those brokers' failure to submit the 2025 permit user fee.

Who's affected: The notice names customs brokers holding national permits — specifically those who did not pay the 2025 permit user fee. The notice does not cite specific product types, HTS chapters, or countries of origin; importers are affected only indirectly, to the extent they rely on an affected broker.

What to review:
- Confirm with your customs broker whether their national permit remains valid and is not among those revoked.
- Review whether any entries or filings are currently being handled by a broker that may be affected.
- Check the notice or with CBP to see whether your broker's name appears on the list of revoked permits.
- Confirm your contingency arrangements for broker services in case a current provider's permit status has changed.

This is general information, not legal advice and not a compliance determination — confirm specifics with a licensed customs broker or trade counsel.
