General:
There are very important differences between "freight collect", "driver

Customs Brokers and Importers:
Did you know you can find listings of FDA import alerts on-line?  See
GISTnet referrals at http://www.gistnet.com/library/2/ref/fdaimpalert.html.

Exporters/Freight Forwarders/Exporters:
Do you know ELLIE yet?  If you ever have occasion to apply for a DOC export
license, request an advisory ECCN classification, or help a new exporter
with licenseable goods, you should.  See
