S Massie Consulting LLC

S Massie Consulting LLC provides export consulting, customized EAR and ITAR compliance programs, and targeted training for companies to navigate the complicated laws and regulations for US exports.

Export compliance is a topic that, if not properly addressed, could create major challenges for your company. Penalties for violating US export law can include up to $1.2m in fines and 20 years imprisonment per violation, loss of export privileges, and more.

The purpose of an Export Compliance Program (ECP) or an ITAR Compliance Program (ICP) is to create a set of written policies and procedures that help your company operate its ITAR and/or export activities in accordance with US Government regulations. Investing in an ECP/ICP that is well integrated into your current business processes can lend predictability, consistency, and security to your export transactions and serves as a training program for employees.

Does your current program have:

• Clearly documented determinations for each product or technology:
  (1) jurisdiction under ITAR or EAR and (2) classification codes
• Written policies and step-by-step export procedures by department
• Tiered export compliance training for ALL employees
• Checks and safeguards throughout all ITAR and export processes
• Screening of parties and activities and tagging of ITAR products from supplier to end-user
• Continuous monitoring and audit systems to ensure compliance and to detect, report and correct potential violations
• Detailed record keeping practices
