Customs Specialist Qualification Examination: Suggested Study Strategy

1Work through all 350 numbered prompts on the official GTS study list chapter by chapter rather than assuming that list is the live paper — the sitting length is not published.
2Learn the six valuation methods in order and when transport and insurance to the EAEU border are added to the price actually paid.
3Master the General Rules for Interpretation of TN VED; the official list includes dedicated classification extras.
4Know the EAEU procedures that appear on the list, especially temporary storage, customs warehouse, transit, and temporary admission time limits.
5Practice ARM-Broker concepts from the official extras (declaration format, sending a packet, print conditions) even though this English bank cannot replace the software.
6Bring the GTS document set to the Specialized Training Customs: identity paper, notarised diploma, medical certificates, criminal-record certificate, photos, and the application.
