How much experience do you have?
Obviously, the answer to this question depends on your experience classifying goods. If you do this activity in your daily work, you may require less study time for the exam, but you should still study this topic. If you do not classify goods in your daily activities, you must to study this topic several months before taking the exam to obtain your license as a Customs Broker. Remember that the variety in the content of the questions is practically endless. In other words, there is a probability that you will be asked the classification that corresponds to each of the goods that exist in the world. Yes, there are as many possibilities for questions as there are commodities in the world.
