Trade Compliance & Procurement

ITAR/EAR export controls, sanctions, classification & licensing, and NATO procurement — EU & US

What we do

We provide senior, independent export control consulting across ITAR/EAR and EU/UK dual-use rules: ECCN/USML classification, license strategy & applications, sanctions and denied-party screening, end-use/end-user and re-export/re-transfer controls, NATO procurement documentation and supplier due-diligence. Work is confidential, NDA-ready, and delivered in executive-grade briefs and checklists your teams can use immediately.

  • Classification & scope determination — ITAR vs EAR, ECCN/USML, EAR99 vs controlled, dual-use alignment.

  • Licensing strategy & applications — need assessment, exceptions, provisos, re-export/re-transfer guidance; full application package.

  • Sanctions & screening — denied-party and country programs, end-use/end-user checks, red-flag resolution.

  • NATO procurement support — disclosures, approvals and compliance plan for bids and deliveries.

  • Supplier due-diligence & onboarding — risk rating, documentary evidence, mitigations and ongoing monitoring.
