General:

http://www.gistnet.com/sub/glossary/tsn.html.

Customs Brokers and Importers:
Compliance -- always a topic of concern.  See the GISTnet glossary for
definition of "compliance assessment" at
http://www.gistnet.com/sub/glossary/compliance_assessment.html and compliance
assessment team kit at
http://www.gistnet.com/sub/glossary/compliance_assessment_team_kit.html.
Experts agree that importers should be doing their own self assessments to
be prepared for the day when they get audited.  Brokers should provide
support, or recommend a qualified consultant or attorney.

Exporters/Freight Forwarders/Exporters:
Sanctions have been lifted for Pakistan and India.  See GISTnet country
