Customs and Excise Officer Entrance Exam

[mitch1980]

Blurr message me and I will try to accommodate you. I will be very busy the rest of the week so I may not check in very frequently.

Mitch1980, it's a disservice to lump everyone in a general negative statement about trinis. While I respect everyone's right to an opinion, it's just plain reckless to assume that all trinis or even the majority have subjected themselves to lazy practices and environments. If that's the case we can assume that you must either be part of the minority or more than likely part of the majority that's not practicing what you preach. Lastly, how unfortunate for you that you must assume everyone slated to sit the exam or applying to customs has not either been through some sort of tertiary education system or does not have plans to do so. It's quite possible that some of us, just made ourselves available upon recognizing an opportunity to secure a stable job. It's also quite possible that many of us have obtained our tertiary education credentials without government assistance even though we do not belong to the elite class in this country. I'm all for healthy discussion but a negative energy doesn't just happen, that's a choice. I choose to bid you a blessed week nonetheless. It seems we have nothing more to speak about as it pertains to this thread.

Again this shows the LAZY mentality that exist "who feel society owes them this and that" ... ITS ONE SIMPLE EXAM...and you want help a simple exam.

Everyone wants to "eat ah food"
too much LAZY people who are unwilling to work fairly and earn just rewards

WORK HARD
STUDY HARD

hi... very new here. jus came across the thread in my google search. the exam is 2 papers... paper 1 multiple choice guessing on everything. shunt b that hard... paper 2 is 3 questions 1). short answers, 2). calculations and 3). is the essay. I've seen paper 2 and its pretty straightforward if u kno about customs. its basic knowledge in the first question. the calculations resemble form 2 math but for ppl lil me who forgot math after high school i hav my hands full but its workable lol. the essay is on current affairs. jus kno how to write a gd essay and u shud ace this test. best of luck on sat! i'm in the same boat

furreal yes ,right now my head swell with "tax,duties,import,export. etc"-- is madness!!

[shottaz]

i did... check urs mr.

take a peek at your inbox

[kandigirl11]

just learn your acronyms, international/world trade terms, excise definitions, customs definitions and laws, caricom, community organs and bodies, calculations (although on past papers they gave the formula) so that's a breeze. and current affairs for your essay. duty allowances. excisible goods (the 4 categories). vision and mission statement so that can tie in with your essay depending on which you choose.

^^^ at least that's what I'm focussing on...
btw what does C&EPI mean?? I cant find the answer anywhere...

[Sasenarine]

Think it means Customs & Excise Preventive Inspector

[droppa]

Customs and excise preventive inspector.

That is the person in charge of the enforcement arm of customs (Preventive)

[kandigirl11]

Sent css011 a PM this morning.
In the meanwhile anyone willing to share what css011 already shared with them?

[droppa]

For those who now catching up, download 78.01 from customs site and learn the definitions in the beginning part, learn what us prohibited and what is restricted, also try and learn the calculations, of
CIF, duty, mvt, vat

Good luck to all others writing on Saturday, from I've been told, customs is exciting and interesting, but focus on passing the exam, have interview and police background to go tru before u get in training, then training is a couple months and you are temporary for between 2-5 years and only get uniform when u are appointed and on the permanent establishment.

Overtime is the real money maker in customs, but junior officers rarely get that previlige!

[zoom rader]

^^^ you forgot to add in the kickbacks which is worth more that ot

[droppa]

Kickbacks! Hmmm, better to try and stay on the safe path!!!
