                        TITLE 19--CUSTOMS DUTIES
 
  CHAPTER I--UNITED STATES CUSTOMS SERVICE, DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
 
PART 111--CUSTOMS BROKERS--Table of Contents
 
            Subpart B--Procedure To Obtain License or Permit
 
Sec. 111.12  Application for license.

    (a) Submission of application and fee. An application for a broker's 
license must be submitted in duplicate to the director of the port where 
the applicant intends to do business. The application must be under oath 
and executed on Customs Form 3124. The application must be accompanied 
by the $200 application fee prescribed in Sec. 111.96(a) and one copy of 
the appropriate attachment required by the application form (Articles of 
Agreement or an affidavit signed by all partners, Articles of Agreement 
of the association, or the Articles of Incorporation). If the applicant 
proposes to operate under a trade or fictitious name in one or more 
States, evidence of the applicant's authority to use the name in each of 
those States must accompany the application. An application for an 
individual license must be submitted within the 3-year period after the 
applicant took and passed the written examination referred to in 
Secs. 111.11(a)(4) and 111.13. The port director may require an 
individual applicant to provide a copy of the notification that he 
passed the written examination (see Sec. 111.13(e)) and will require the 
applicant to submit fingerprints on form FD 258 or electronically at the 
time of filing the application. The port director may reject an 
application as improperly filed if the application, on its face, 
demonstrates that one or more of the basic requirements set forth in 
Sec. 111.11 have not been met at the time of filing, in which case the 
application and fee will be returned to the filer without further 
action.
    (b) Posting notice of application. Following receipt of the 
application, the port director will post a notice that the application 
has been filed. The notice will be posted conspicuously for at least 2 
consecutive weeks in the customhouse at the port and similarly at any 
other port where the applicant also proposes to maintain an office. The 
notice also will be posted by appropriate electronic means. The notice 
will give the name and address of the applicant and, if the applicant is 
a partnership, association, or corporation, will state the names of all 
members or officers who are licensed as brokers. The notice will invite 
written comments or information regarding the issuance of the license.
    (c) Withdrawal of application. An applicant for a broker's license 
may withdraw the application at any time prior to issuance of the 
license by providing written notice of the withdrawal to the port 
director. However, withdrawal of the application does not entitle the 
applicant to a refund of the $200 application fee.
