Customs broker licensing requires fee payment, Form C intimation, and a bond plus a security instrument before licence issue. Customs broker licensing requires payment of the prescribed fee and Commissioner issuance of the licence upon receipt; licensed brokers may work across Customs stations subject to intimation in Form C. Before granting a licence under Regulation 7 CBLR 2018, the Principal Commissioner or Commissioner must obtain a bond for observance of the regulations and a security instrument (bank guarantee, postal security, National Savings Certificate or fixed deposit receipt in the name of the Principal Commissioner or Commissioner) for the prescribed amount to enable carrying on business as a Customs Broker.
