GISTnet Tips: 27 Feb 2001

General:
When your shipment is covered by marine cargo insurance with an "all risks"
clause does that really mean you are covered for ALL possible risks?  See
GISTnet glossary definition at
http://www.gistnet.com/sub/glossary/all-risks_clause.html.

Customs Brokers/Importers:
Have you seen our interactive CF7501 yet?  Go to
http://www.gistnet.com/library/2/exhibits/CF7501-description.html.  Scroll
down and click on any box of the 7501 to see a detailed explanation of what
data goes in that box.  Keep scrolling down, there is a continuation page
which includes examples of different types of merchandise, products subject
to anti-dumping, U.S. Goods returned, and beer subject to I.R.Tax.

Freight Forwarders/Exporters:
Are you current on your understanding of the Foreign Trade Statistics
Regulations (FTSR, by the Census Bureau), and the Export Administration
Regulations (EAR, by the BXA) with respect to freight forwarders?  These
regs were significantly revised mid-2000, with mandatory usage effective
October 2000.  See GISTnet library explanation at:
