Export Control Consulting for ECCN & ITAR classification, licensing and export compliance (EU & US)

What we do

At Prima Sidera, we deliver senior, independent export control consulting to EU/US teams that need fast, defensible ECCN classification, ITAR classification, licensing and day-to-day export compliance consulting. Work is confidential, NDA-ready and delivered in concise, executive-grade outputs your team can use immediately.

  • ECCN & ITAR classification
    Determination and scope notes across ECCR/EAR, USML/ECCN, 600-series vs EAR99, dual-use vs controlled; rationale, cross-references and evidence you can file.

  • Licensing & authorisations
    Full export compliance consulting on DSP-5/61/73, TAAs/MLAs, provisos/exceptions, re-export/re-transfer and end-use/end-user reviews; ready-to-submit packages.

  • Sanctions & restricted-party screening
    Programs aligned to US/EU/UK regimes; red-flag procedures, auditable checks and documented mitigations.

  • Export compliance programs (ECP)
    Policies, procedures and training that satisfy auditors: recordkeeping, technology transfer, visitor controls, supplier onboarding and broker/agent management — pragmatic ITAR compliance consulting.

  • NATO / public procurement readiness
    Classification evidence, compliance statements and documentation packs to support eligibility and bid submissions.
