If your company is like many other
U.S. exporters, your export procedures have “evolved” into
their current state.
They have been
created to meet the necessities of each new export situation until everyone
kind of knows what they’re supposed to do.
At some point, somebody has thought about writing this all down, but
with your current workload, chances are that on one has ever had the time to do
that.
Even if your company has gone
through the process of creating a written export management plan, it hasn’t
been updated for months—if not years—and no one has really checked to see if
the plan is being followed.
Either way, you’ve got a nagging feeling that some important export procedures are falling through the cracks.
That feeling has gotten stronger since the Bureau of Industry and
Security has announced new rules that substantially increase penalties
for violating their regulations.
A single
violation could cost your company from $10,000 to $50,000 or more and
lead to further sanctions against your company and the responsible
individuals.
Even if your company has gone to extraordinary measures to
learn current export law, created a plan for compliance, and implemented the
written procedures, it’s important to periodically check and see if it’s still
current and, most importantly, if your company personnel are following it.
An outside auditor can provide an objective
look at your current procedures, analyze whether or not your company is
complying with current export regulations, and give you a plan for getting back
on track.
That’s where International
Business Training comes in.
Our
experienced consultants will analyze your current export procedures, grade your
company on how well it complies with current export regulations, and present
you and your colleagues with a plan for addressing any shortcomings.
