CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT (CPD)
Licensed customs brokers must obtain a minimum of 30 Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points by participating in activities across the two available streams. A customs broker may complete all 30 CPD points per CPD year from Stream A if they wish, but no more than 12 CPD points can be counted from Stream B in any single CPD year.
Non-compliance with CPD licence conditions is a breach of the Customs Act 1901 and can result in suspension of the customs broker licence and/or the issue of an infringement notice.

LICENCE RENEWAL
Customs brokers wanting to renew their licence for the next triennium (i.e. from 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2021) will need to apply for the renewal of their licences.
To ensure that the renewal package is sent to the correct postal address, customs brokers should check, by no later than 1 February 2018, their contact details in the Integrated Cargo System (ICS) are up to date. It is the responsibility of a customs broker to ensure that their contact details in the ICS are maintained.
