CBLE Broker Duties, Supervision, Records & Penalties question: broker notified the CBP Security Operations Center of a records breach on Monday

CBLEBroker Duties, Supervision, Records & Penalties

A broker notified the CBP Security Operations Center of a records breach on Monday, March 9, 2026. Its forensic team later identifies more compromised importer numbers. What must it send, and when?

A A complete incident report within 30 calendar days of discovery
B A new list only if CBP asks for one in writing
C An updated list within 10 business days of its notification
D A copy of the notification to each client within 72 hours

Show the answer and explanation

Answer: C. An updated list within 10 business days of its notification

Under 19 CFR 111.21(b), within ten business days of the notification the broker must electronically provide an updated list of any additional known compromised importer identification numbers, and any further information discovered later must be sent within 72 hours of its discovery. The regulation sets no 30-day report and does not itself require notice to clients. Source: 19 CFR 111.21(b) (eCFR, as at 7 Oct 2026).

Common mistake

Waiting for CBP to ask before sending the updated list.
