The parts of 19 CFR the customs broker exam actually tests
CBP writes the exam against Title 19 of the Code of Federal Regulations, but not evenly: a handful of parts carry most of the paper. This is every part with a meaningful presence in the 680 citation-bearing questions of the CBLEsim bank, heaviest first, each linking to the released questions that tested it.
