Export controls are tightening across the EAR, ITAR, EU dual-use, and sanctions regimes, and enforcement is active. Misclassifications, licence errors, and weak screening create significant financial and reputational exposure. A structured compliance programme, with clear classification, screening, training, and governance, is how companies keep moving product without incident.
WHAT YOU GET: A THREE-PHASE JOURNEY
Phase 1: Diagnose. Seven domain assessments (30 questions each, 210 total) score your maturity across IEEPA Legal Framework, Tariff Classification HTSUS, Section 301 Tariff Process, and related areas. You can complete the Quick Scan diagnostic in under an hour and know exactly where the biggest gaps and opportunities sit.
Phase 2: Set Goals. Five PM template workbooks with roadmaps, RACI matrices, milestone trackers, risk registers, and stakeholder communication plans. These lock in scope, timeline, and accountability before a single line of implementation work starts, which is consistently where programmes succeed or stall.
Phase 3: Implement. Nine operational runbooks and checklists covering handover and integration. Every runbook is built to be followed by a working team, not read and filed. Pro tips, example rows, and common-mistake callouts give you the benefit of hard-won practitioner experience from the first day.
