International trade law refers to the set of rules and agreements that govern commerce between countries and, thereby, how countries conduct business across borders. Of course, working for Customs and Border Protection, you will need to be familiar with these laws. These topics are part of your employee training; however, CBP hiring authorities would like to know more about your current level of knowledge, and if you have, or are actively pursuing, getting a head start. Before your interview, take some time to educate yourself with international trade law and regulations. This will exhibit an above-and-beyond work ethic.

"I have read a variety of resources regarding international trade law and recently enrolled in an online course, once I decided to apply for a career with CBP. This course provides a focus on governing law as it relates to trade, the fundamental principles of governing the trade of goods and services, as well as basic information regarding agriculture, food safety, and environmental protection. As a person with a keen interest in these topics, I also read a great deal on geopolitical tensions between trading powers, particularly between the US and China. Rest assured, once hired by CBP, I will be studious in my learning and will keep up to date with international trade law and regulations."

I am currently not very familiar with international trade laws and regulations but would be eager to learn if hired. I consider myself a fast learner and was the top scorer in my police academy class for law class.
To this day I review the Michigan Compiled Lawbook to familiarize myself even more with criminal law. I would show the same dedication to learning international trade laws and regulations.
