GISTnet Tips: 2001-10-03

General:
Do you arrange FCL container drayage or FTL truck loads? Read about
"Permissible Weight Limits" in the GISTnet text at
http://www.gistnet.com/sub/text/2:k296.html (just click on "next" to go to
the next page), and check out our recently revised "U.S.Truck Size and Weight
Limits" Exhibit at http://www.gistnet.com/library/2/exhibits/ca-vehdiag.html.

Customs Brokers and Importers:
Do you ever have to scrounge around for a conversion table when calculating
quantities for items in the HTSUS?  Here is a link to a nifty site that
offers conversion factors and a listing of units and their
abbreviations.  See GISTnet referrals at
http://www.gistnet.com/library/2/ref/conversion.html.

Exporters/Freight Forwarders/Exporters:
Have you seen the BXA's "Helpful Hints for Freight Forwarders"?  See
GISTnet exhibit http://www.gistnet.com/library/2/exhibits/bxa-forwdr.html.

If any of you are attending WESCCON 2001, we look forward to seeing you there!
