General: "e-commerce": we've all heard about it, and probably used it. See the GISTnet glossary for a full explanation: http://www.gistnet.com/sub/glossary/e-commerce.html. Customs Brokers/Importers: Do you know what an "administrative ruling" is, and how to search the U.S. Customs database? (These are often called "binding rulings" although the official term is "administrative ruling".) See the GISTnet glossary at http://www.gistnet.com/sub/glossary/administrative_ruling.html. Freight Forwarders/Exporters: New requirements will go into effect October 2001 for non-manufactured wood packing material to the European Union (EU). For this and numerous other EU requirements, see the GISTnet Country Guide for the EU (http://www.gistnet.com/library/2/cidb/eu.html) or select any individual EU country from the GISTnet Country Guides (http://www.gistnet.com/library/2/cidb/).
