CB6.3u—Practice Filing Entry Summary in ACE Using SmartBorder®

Subscriber price: $99.00, Non-subscriber price: $145.00
Estimated total study time: 15 hours 59 minutes

Case studies should be taken after completion of the prior 5 courses and first two parts of CB6u for proper continuity. This requirement can be waived for entry-writers with prior training:

In this course we offer Air, Ocean and Border Case studies to provide practice with obtaining information from sample documents, determining whether trade agreements or partner government agencies are involved, duty, fees, entry type, importer of record, continuous vs. single entry bond, etc.

The case studies require the use of ACE software in the ABI system with the capability to create an entry summary and single entry bond without transmission to CBP, and a customer invoice. All three documents must be able to be printed. If your ABI system does not have this functionality, GISTnet has chosen SmartBorder® as the ABI system to use as a testing platform for users taking this course. Please read the SmartBorder® system requirements.

Please note: company-specific case studies can be created using any software that has a test system using any type of documentation. For inquiries email at staff@gistnet.com.
