  1. Which document serves as the primary customs entry form for commercial truck shipments entering the United States from Mexico?

    Answer: CBP Form 3461

    CBP Form 3461 (Entry/Immediate Delivery) is used for the release of merchandise from customs custody at US ports of entry.

  2. A truck dispatcher is coordinating a load from Canada to the US. Under FAST (Free and Secure Trade) lane procedures, which parties must be FAST-certified?

    Answer: The importer, carrier, and driver

    FAST lane eligibility requires all three parties — the importer, carrier, and driver — to be pre-approved and enrolled in their respective trusted trader programs.

  3. When dispatching a cross-border load to Canada, what is the standard advance electronic cargo notification requirement for highway shipments?

    Answer: 1 hour before arrival

    CBSA requires highway carriers to transmit advance cargo information at least 1 hour prior to arrival at a Canadian port of entry.

  4. A dispatcher is arranging a cross-border shipment containing both commercial goods and personal effects. How should these items be handled on customs documents?

    Answer: They must be separated on distinct manifests or entries

    Commercial goods and personal effects must be declared separately because they are subject to different customs procedures and duty treatments.

  5. Under the USMCA, what is the de minimis threshold for duty-free entry of shipments into Mexico?

    Answer: $117 USD

    Mexico's de minimis threshold under USMCA is approximately $117 USD (50 USD in value plus taxes), below which goods enter duty-free with minimal documentation.

  6. A dispatcher's driver is detained at the US-Canada border because the carrier's bond is insufficient for the shipment value. What type of bond issue is this?

    Answer: Continuous bond shortfall

    A continuous bond must be set at a level sufficient to cover 10% of duties paid in the prior year; if shipment values exceed bond coverage, CBP can hold the cargo.

  7. Which US program allows pre-approved low-risk shipments to receive expedited clearance at the border through a dedicated lane and reduced documentation?

    Answer: FAST (Free and Secure Trade)

    FAST is the dedicated lane and expedited clearance program for pre-approved importers, carriers, and drivers crossing between the US, Canada, and Mexico.
