Logisticians Unite!
Success! I was able to talk with a couple of people at a freight forwarder/customs broker house, and I got some GREAT advice!
If anyone decides to take the Customs Broker License Examination, it is a serious endeavor. Studying for the customs broker license examination is a very detailed and intense process. I spoke with a woman who works in an office out of Charleston who just took the exam for the fourth time. Each time, she said, she has seen the same people. Determination is certainly the key to getting licensed as a broker!
There are several local companies that provide these services, but the majority of the licensed brokers in their organizations are in different offices in major port cities. Where I am currently, in the Upstate of South Carolina, there are plenty of logisticians and freight forwarders. I am now in the process of researching the businesses that have local and regional offices with open positions.
