Questions this page answers

Is a CBP customs broker license the same as an FMC OTI license?

No. Customs brokerage (CBP) and ocean transportation intermediary licensing (FMC) are different regimes. Many trade firms hold both — verify each.

Does a BrokerMafia customs-broker row mean CBP licensing?

No. Indexed ≠ licensed. Confirm on CBP's customs-broker resources for the legal name.

Is a BrokerMafia agency page an endorsement?

No. Index ≠ endorsement. BrokerMafia is not a government agency and does not issue licenses.
