GISTnet

yms, codes and abbreviations which we define and explain in the context of everyday usage in trade and transportation. Many definitions are illustrated, and/or linked to other Internet sites of interest. Most important, our glossary is a context-based gateway to our entire library. At the end of every definition is a link to a term-based table of contents showing every library heading under each term, allowing the user to quickly drill through to exactly the context in which the term has arisen. With GISTnet, there is no time wasted in hunting through conventional tables of content or using ponderous word searches. Explanatory Text - Our diverse reference/training text serves as a practical manual covering much of the technical information and process knowledge needed in the industry we serve. We currently have over 7000 pages in our text library, which is continually updated and expanded. Country Guides - Our country guides are specifically designed to help exporters and transportation intermediaries in arranging international shipments. They have become one of the most popular and valuable features of a GISTnet subscription, and are now also available as a separate subscription. We provide a variety of general trade, transportation and communication information, plus detailed coverage of import documentation, transportation and customs requirements. Exhibits - Our exhibit library contains numerous reference documents, blank form specimens, and interactive forms to which we have added detailed usage instructions and links to relevant parts of our glossary and text library. Help Desk - No amount of pre-published information can address every issue which will arise, especially at times when requirements and options are changing. For this reason, we invite our subscribers to contact us at any time for further assistance, clarification, information and research. We offer a deep reserve of expertise among our various GISTnet authors.
