See GISTnet Library at (http://www.gistnet.com/sub/text/2:4-13-23.auto).
This topic is also covered in depth in lesson two of our on-line course
"[T6] Introduction to Cargo Risk Management and Insurance" in the
GISTnet Course Catalog (http://www.gistnet.com/courses/index.html).

Freight Forwarder
Did you know there is an international protocol covering pre-shipment
inspection of cargo to be exported? You will find the WTO Agreement on
Preshipment Inspections in the GISTnet Referrals database
(http://www.gistnet.com/library/2/ref/WTO_Preshipment_Agreement.html)
where thousands of links have been compiled to help you find information
quickly.

Customs Broker:
FAST is now in operation at most land border crossing points. The
GISTnet library contains up-to-date information about this important
