The note analyses obligations of a customs broker under CBLR, emphasising that a broker must advise clients and report non compliance but is liable only where evidence shows failure to perform that duty; here the broker filed bills of entry after advising the importer of correct classification and duties, and prior port practice and specific departmental intelligence led to discovery of ineligible exemption claims.
