What CBP asks out of 19 CFR 152
19 CFR Part 152 is titled "Classification and Appraisement of Merchandise". It is one part of Title 19 of the Code of Federal Regulations — the customs regulations, which you may bring into the exam room.
The questions are not spread evenly. Valuation & Appraisement accounts for 63 of them, which is where to start if this is a weak spot.
