Smith Logistics LLC ("Smith Logistics") is a freight forwarder and licensed customs broker. Smith Logistics has executed a valid power of attorney to authorize its unlicensed employee, Erin Johnson, to sign documents pertaining to customs business on its behalf. Which ONE of the following statements is TRUE for this scenario?
An unlicensed employee acting solely for the broker needs no license where the broker has authorized the employee to sign customs documents and executed a power of attorney for that purpose; the broker does not file that power of attorney with CBP but must provide proof of its existence on request (19 CFR 111.2(a)(2)(ii)(A)(1)). The statement filed with the processing Center is the separate route in 111.2(a)(2)(ii)(A)(2), for employees authorized to transact other customs business, not for signing. Nothing in 111.2 requires proof of age or citizenship for such an employee; those are licensing requirements for brokers themselves (111.11). Source: 19 CFR 111.2(a)(2)(ii)(A)(1)-(2), (B) (2024 ed.; unchanged in eCFR as at 7 Oct 2026). CBP answer key: A. CBP's citation: 19 CFR 111.2(a)(2)(ii)(A)(1)-(2).
Mixing up the two employee routes in 111.2(a)(2)(ii)(A): the signing power of attorney is kept on hand, the processing Center statement is for other business.
