Hi tuhitu:
The short answer to your question is *no* - you do not need to be a
U.S. citizen to take the test for a customs broker license.
However, you *do* need to be a U.S. citizen to apply for your license
once you have successfully passed the exam.

Quote: "To apply for a customs broker license, a person must be a
United States citizen who is not an employee of the federal
government. The applicant must be of good moral character, at least 21
years of age, and must have attained a passing score on the
comprehensive broker license examination."

Quote: "Anyone can take the course and sit for the exam. However to
apply for your Customs Brokers license, you must score a minimum of
75% on the exam, be at least 21 years of age and a citizen of the
United States. You cannot be an officer or employee of the United
States Government - this includes the US military and the United
States Post Office. You will have three years after you take and pass
the test to apply for the license.
For example: You are 20 years old and not a citizen of the United
States, but you know that you will be getting your citizenship within
three years, so you sit for the test. After you pass the test, you
will not be able to apply for your license until you become 21 years
old and become a citizen of the United States.
Once you have your license, it is valid in all 50 States and Puerto
Rico. "
I hope this information helps!
