All users:
Are you ready for PierPASS implementation July 23rd? All loaded
containers trucked to or picked up by truck from terminals/container
yards in the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach will be affected. Find
out about the key requirements in the GISTnet Library at:

Customs Brokers and Importers:
Have you seen our recent and extensive Library document, "U.S. Customs
Brokerage A-to-Z---Basic Customs Clearance & Operational Procedures"? To
expand and refresh your knowledge about many aspects of the business and
work flow, go to:

Freight Forwarders and Exporters:
Your ocean and intermodal bills of lading contain a "Himalayan Clause".
This has a major effect on carrier liability which you should know
about, and which argues strongly for cargo insurance on shipper-packed
containers. Learn about this in the the GISTnet glossary at:
