Yes, consistently. The F Card is the full customs broker licence issued to an individual or firm authorising independent practice as a customs broker — it requires passing both the written and oral examinations. The G Card is issued to a person employed by a licensed customs broker (F Card holder), authorising them to transact customs business on behalf of their employer — it requires passing only the written examination, not the oral. CBLE tests the examination requirements, the scope of practice authorised, and the employment relationship between F Card and G Card holders.

A customs broker is obligated to exercise due diligence in ascertaining the correctness of information given by their client and to ensure that all documents filed with customs are accurate to the best of their knowledge. This does not make the broker an insurer of client accuracy — but it does impose a duty of reasonable verification. Where a broker files documents without reasonable verification and they turn out to be forged or incorrect, the broker faces liability under Regulation 10. CBLE tests the extent of this due diligence obligation precisely.
