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 

Sec. Sec.  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.
