Customs Education & Training

Many IFCBA members provide training and professional development activities for customs brokers and international traders.

The IFCBA, in partnership with the Canadian Society of Customs Brokers (CSCB), offers other IFCBA member associations the opportunity to offer on-line valuation training to their members.  We will work with the national customs brokers’ association to make sure the course content meets local needs.
