EXPORT CONTROL
COMPLIANCE SERVICES
Safeguard your technologies and goods with clearBorder: your independent export‑controls partner.
WHY EXPORT CONTROL
COMPLIANCE MATTERS
Export controls are designed to protect national security and global stability – but failing to meet UK, EU, US and other regulations can bring severe penalties, licence suspensions, or reputational harm. In a world of dual‑use technologies and shifting sanction lists, a proactive export compliance framework is essential to safeguard growth and maintain trust with your trade partners and the relevant authorities.

FAQs | EXPORT CONTROL COMPLIANCE SERVICES
-
Every country (and every end‑use) carries its own rules. We map your products against UK ECJU lists and US EAR/ITAR classifications, and then tailor licence applications for each jurisdiction.
Whether you’re shipping to allied markets or controlled‑goods hotspots, our approach ensures you meet both local customs regulations and global sanctions obligations.
-
A robust compliance audit converts hidden risks into cost savings. Typically, our clients recover consultancy fees through avoided licence rejections, faster approvals, and reduced penalties. Beyond direct savings, you’ll also benefit from streamlined workflows that free your team to focus on strategic growth rather than urgent remediation.
-
US export controls apply extra‑territorially to any US‑origin technology in your product. We navigate both EAR (dual‑use) and ITAR (defence‑related) frameworks, handling everything from commodity classification to end‑user screening – so you don’t incur accidental breaches or licence backlogs.
-
Organisations often underestimate the depth of due‑diligence required: incomplete vetting, outdated watchlists, or assumptions about “trusted” partners. Our expert teams deploy proprietary screening processes and real‑time sanctions monitoring to catch gaps before they become enforcement actions.
-
Scalability is built in. We establish a central compliance framework – policies, roles, workflows – and then federate it to site‑specific teams via targeted training, system integrations, and regional champions.
This hybrid model ensures consistent controls without stifling local agility.
-
For PE firms and acquirers, export‑control liabilities can derail deals. We conduct targeted due‑diligence assessments, identifying potential licence gaps or non‑compliance triggers and quantifying remediation costs, so you enter negotiations with full visibility and confidence.
-
Definitely. We provide tailored compliance bulletins and on‑demand alerts – covering EU, UK, US, and multilateral sanctions – so your legal, compliance, and operations teams never miss a regulatory update. We’re here to remove the background noise, delivering only the changes that actually matter to your trade profile.
-
Absolutely. Whether you’re dealing with emerging tech, controlled software, or rare dual‑use components, we’ll develop tailored end‑to‑end workflows – covering classification, licensing, end‑user verification, and post‑shipment controls – that integrate seamlessly with your existing systems.
