We hold 5 CBP exam papers, from 2024-05-01 to the April 2026 sitting, and CBP's own answer key for every one of them. CBP publishes both
190 of the 400 questions carry an explanation of ours. The other 210 are counted in the second table beside the reason they do not.
The answer letter on every question is CBP's own official key. The explanation beside it is ours: drafted by a local model, checked by a second, and withheld whenever the checker flags it.
Each free sitting page shows up to 10 questions. The paid page carries all 400, grouped by topic.
Nothing on this page is fetched. Every number is counted out of the sealed copy of the papers we keep ourselves.

What we can say about the question	Questions	Share of the bank
explained by us, quoting the Title 19 CFR passage CBP's key cites	190	48%
cites the tariff schedule (HTSUS), not the CFR, so we draft nothing	119	30%
our second model flagged the first draft, so it is withheld	58	14%
the cited rule did not resolve to a passage we could quote	28	7%
withdrawn or two accepted answers, so there is no single one to explain	5	1%

What this page cannot tell you

Classification questions cite the tariff schedule (HTSUS), not the CFR, so we do not draft explanations for those; they are counted above.
A question CBP withdrew ("all examinees granted credit") or answered two ways has no single explanation, and we do not invent one.
Machine-drafted explanations can be wrong. This is a study aid, not legal or tax advice, and not CBP's own explanation.
We hold nothing from a sitting before 2024-05-01. Older papers exist on CBP's page; we have not sealed a copy of them.
New sittings appear here only after we add the CBP PDFs by hand, which we do after each April and October exam.

See the file before you pay

You do not have to take our word for what is in the file. Here are 25 rows of the real thing, carrying all 5 of its columns, cut out of the dated copies we sealed ourselves. Nothing in it is made up and nothing in it is tidied up.

Open the 25 rows as a CSVA plain spreadsheet file. It saves to your machine rather than painting itself into a browser tab, and it opens in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets.
The same 25 rows as JSONThe same rows again, laid out for reading with code.

What arrives after you pay: a single private web page with the whole explained bank — all sittings, every question, grouped by topic — within 15 minutes of payment.

What you would be paying for: $49 once, for the explained bank of the last five Customs Broker License Exam sittings. Nothing recurring, nothing to cancel and no subscription behind it. You get one private web page with every question from those sittings, CBP's own official answer on each, and — where the official key cites a Title 19 CFR rule — our explanation that quotes that rule. The questions and answer keys are CBP publications in the public domain; the explanations are ours, machine-drafted and machine-checked, and are not CBP's. Not every question is explained: classification questions cite the tariff schedule rather than the CFR, some questions were withdrawn by CBP or had two accepted answers, and those carry no single explanation — the page shows the honest count. This is a study aid, not legal or tax advice, and we do not guarantee exam results. Refund on request within 14 days. The private page is delivered within 15 minutes of payment.

These 25 rows are a slice of the file, not the whole of it. What we cannot show you here is how far back it goes: that is the part you are paying for.
