GISTnet Tips: 2001-02-21

General:
Do you know when an ATA Carnet can be used and what the handling procedures
are?  Find out in the GISTnet text at

Customs Brokers/Importers:
Getting ready to take the broker's exam in April?  The most recent exam is
now available at the U.S. Customs website, see GISTnet referral
http://www.gistnet.com/library/2/ref/brokerexam.html.  Ask your supervisor
about taking GISTnet's broker exam preparation course.  Based on the October
98 exam, this course takes the exam and gives detailed feedback and
explanations including links to the CFR and glossary terms for each correct
or incorrect answer on the multiple choice exam.  It leads you step by step
through problems covering many core issues which remain unchanged.

Freight Forwarders/Exporters:
Recently U.S. sanctions applying to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
(Serbia and Montenegro) have been eased.  See GISTnet Country Guide for
Yugoslavia at http://www.gistnet.com/library/2/cidb/yu.html.  Do you know
where to go to get the latest information on all U.S. sanctions?  See
