General:
For a refreshingly simple explanation of basic math used in our work, such
as calculation of linear measurement, area and cube, time zones, currency
conversions, etc., see http://www.gistnet.com/sub/text/2:0-2_math-1.toc.

Customs Brokers and Importers:
Did you know that GSP remains in effect until 2008 for beneficiary
countries of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA)?  See GISTnet
glossary at

Freight Forwarders/Exporters:
Can a U.S. person violate export regulations even if no cargo leaves the
country? Yes! See the definition for "deemed export" in the GISTnet
glossary at http://www.gistnet.com/sub/glossary/deemed_export.html.
