Doing business internationally introduces your company to a complex world of laws, regulations and controls administered by numerous government agencies including U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Department of Commerce – Bureau of Industry and Security and the Office of Foreign Assets Control.

Navigating through the multitude of regulations enforced by these agencies can be a daunting task, especially if your organization does not have the resources necessary to ensure consistent ongoing compliance. Failure to comply with U.S. trade laws can result in both civil and criminal penalties, substantial fines and imprisonment.

Compliance Assurance LLC will assess your risk of failing to comply with the myriad of trade control regulations and develop customized training, documentation, and trade management solutions to assure your company’s compliance. We simplify the process of becoming compliant by working with your team to assess areas of exposure, and delivering your solution as a ‘complete package’ to assure your full compliance quickly, effectively and with the peace of mind you desire.

Are You Compliant?

Take this quick self assessment and see...

1. Does my company have a formal Trade Compliance Policy Statement issued from our President or CEO?

2. Does my company have a formal Trade Compliance Department or Designated Trade Compliance Officer?

3. Have our employees involved in processing international transactions received import and/or export compliance training and updates in the last six months?

4. Has my company properly classified all of its export products with appropriate Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCN) or import commodities with appropriate Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) numbers?

5. Do our employees involved with export transactions check all foreign parties (including banks, freight forwarders, etc.) against the Bureau of Industry’s recommended “Lists to Check” (e.g. Denied Persons, Specially Designated Nationals, etc.)?

6. Does my company have documented import and/or export compliance and internal audit procedures?

If you answered “No” to one or more of these questions, your company may be at risk of violating U.S. laws and regulations.  We welcome you to call us and find out how Compliance Assurance LLC can provide a tailored solution to protect your company, its officers, and its employees.

The Value of Compliance

Trade compliance, once recognized primarily by large multi-nationals and defense manufacturers, has become a prerequisite for all companies engaged in international transactions.  Compliance is no longer a ‘necessary evil’ but a competitive advantage for companies who desire operate globally, prevent fines, penalties and seizures, and advance U.S. national security, foreign policy, and economic objectives.  Aside from being the ‘right thing to do’, it can save you money, prevent  negative publicity, and improve your overall business efficiency.
