EXPORT COMPLIANCE PROGRAMS

It always helps not only to know where you're going with any particular management process but also where you may be currently. If you're a new company just getting started in international trade and needing to export commodities or services from the Unites States, FD Associates can help your company establish an auditable and reliable export compliance program. If you have been involved in exports and international trade for a while and are reasonably well established, FD Associates can help you assess the effectiveness of your company's current export compliance program and provide recommendations for improvement. The idea is to ensure that the export compliance system you put in place can be managed as a process, and more importantly, that it consistently and diligently underwrites the company's commitment to this vital aspect of its business.

FD Associates' Senior Associates, recognized experts in export compliance management field, will take the time to examine your business model in conjunction with the applicable export compliance regulations and provide the company management team with a specific assessment about how best to implement an export compliance management system to achieve the company's export compliance goals, or, as applicable, how to improve upon the process that is in place.

FD Associates can and will assess your company's needs in relation to both the Department of State's ITAR (International Trade In Arms Regulation) requirements and the Department of Commerce's EAR (Export Administration Regulation) requirements and ensure that the scope of your export compliance management system correctly addresses either or both of these rules, as they might apply.

Getting your company's export compliance program right up front can save many hours of frustrating and expensive work downstream, and may very well prove to be the difference between a system that passes government muster, or one that is targeted for detailed examinations that could result in fines and penalties that can be as dire as suspension of licensing privileges or debarment from exporting and or government contracting.

Let FD Associates help put your organization on the right track from the start and provide you with the auditing and export compliance support and advice that will ensure that you stay there.

EXPORT TRADE COMPLIANCE MANUAL

In addition to helping companies establish day-to-day export compliance procedures and processes, we offer companies a baseline export compliance manual, to use in establishing company-wide procedures and practices. With ever increasing fines and the enforcement of violations becoming more stringent, non-compliance is not worth the risk. Effective and highly pertinent procedures thoroughly documented in a proper export compliance manual will provide your company with necessary compliance measures on a daily basis.

Maybe your business simply needs an update to its existing export compliance manual. Perhaps you have a new product in place that must be evaluated for proper trade controls and included in your trade compliance manual. Whatever your exporting compliance needs may be, FD Associates has the necessary experience and tools to help.
