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.
 Take this quick self assessment and see...
- Does my company have a formal Trade Compliance Policy Statement issued from our President or CEO?
- Does my company have a Trade Compliance Department or designated Trade Compliance Officer?
- Have our employees involved in processing international transaction received import and/or export compliance training in the last six months?
- 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?
- Do our employees involved with export transactions check all foreign parties (including banks, forwarders, etc.) against the Bureau of Industry and Security’s recommended “Lists To Check” (e.g. Denied Persons, Unverified, etc.)?
- Does my company have documented import and/or export compliance and internal audit procedures?
If you answered “No” to two or more of these questions, your company may be at risk of violating U.S. laws and regulations. We welcome you to call us at (561) 641-5036 to find out how Compliance Assurance LLC can provide a tailored solution to protect your company, its officers, and its employees.
 Our clients can expect to have a formal risk assessment prepared within one week of initial internal compliance audit. This allows the client to immediately gauge their company’s level of effort required to ensure full compliance with applicable laws.
Based upon the client’s needs assessment, an employee overview training program is developed and delivered within two weeks of initial compliance audit (depending upon client’s employee availability).
A formal compliance program including product classification, policy and process documentation and specific training for areas of concern is typically delivered between four to six weeks (depending upon client’s employee availability).
Our goal is to provide clients with the tools and training to independently maintain their trade compliance program. Our clients realize focused, effective solutions delivered timely in a ‘complete package’ that will assure them that their company and its employees are in total compliance with applicable U.S. laws and regulations. We are compliant!
