CUSTOMS BROKER WRITTEN EXAM CLASSES

The National Academy of Customs Indirect Taxes and Narcotics (NACIN) conducts an online Customs Broker Exam annually at various centers across India. The exam is held as per the Customs Broker Licensing Regulations 2018 (CBLR) and is also known as the Reg 6 Exam.

Applicants often get confused about the various names of the exam, such as CBIC Reg6 Exam, CBLR Reg 6 Exam, CBLR Rule 6 Exam, Rule or Regulation 9 Exam, Rule or Regulation 8 Exam, Customs House Agent (CHA) Exam, and Customs Broker Exam. However, all of these exams refer to the same Customs Broker Exam conducted as per Regulation 6 of CBLR 2018.

The exam consists of two steps: the written exam and the oral exam (interview). The written exam has 150 questions, each worth 3 marks, making it a total of 450 marks. Negative marking is applicable, meaning that an aspirant will receive 3 marks for each correct answer but lose 1 mark for each wrong answer. To qualify for the written exam, an aspirant must score at least 60% marks.

CUSTOMS BROKER INTERVIEW

After qualifying in the written exam, candidates are called for an oral examination or interview. The interview panel consists of three commissioners with different areas of expertise who analyze the candidate based on various parameters and award marks accordingly. To qualify for this exam, candidates need to secure a minimum of 60 out of 100 marks.

The interview is a test of a candidate’s confidence, decision-making abilities, work ethics, and overall personality. It is important to be alert and have a presence of mind during the interview. At JBS Academy, we provide excellent coaching classes for the oral exam under Reg 6 CBLR. We have a specially designed program for our students to prepare them for the interview exam. We pay personal attention to each student and make them aware of their mistakes while doing mock interviews, so that they don’t repeat them during the actual interview.

Our interview classes are free of costs for all aspirants and will cover all aspects of the interview. The curriculum is the same as for the written exam, but the approach is different. If you don’t change your approach, you may not succeed in the oral examination. We provide our own study material and conduct mock interviews to help our students prepare better.

A Customs Broker is an individual or legal entity that holds a license to clear export-import shipments from Indian Customs. It’s important to note that only a license holder can represent a client for Customs Clearance procedures.


While exporters or importers have the option to clear their own cargo, hiring a Customs Broker is similar to hiring an advocate to win a case in court. A layperson is unlikely to have knowledge about the specific laws, policies, notifications, and procedures related to foreign trade, which is why they need the services of a Customs Broker to ensure a smooth cargo clearance process. Overall, Customs Brokers make it easier for individuals and businesses to navigate the complex world of international trade.
