Employment standards for customs brokers require approval, competency exam, identity cards and broker liability procedures. Regulation requires Customs Brokers to verify antecedents and minimum education before employing persons, obtain prior approval from the Deputy or Assistant Commissioner of Customs considering character, and ensure employed persons pass a competency examination administered by that officer within prescribed attempts; prior qualified employees may be exempted on transfer. Brokers must file written authorisations for employees permitted to sign business documents, notify changes, and may authorise to sign only those who have passed the prescribed examinations. Photo identity cards are issued according to examination status and must be carried during Customs transactions. Brokers must supervise employees and are responsible for their acts and omissions.
