General Export Compliance Consulting
Copper Hill offers global export compliance services rendered on a case-by-case basis or through a monthly service agreement. Our Export Control Program team would be happy to assist you in your specific export compliance situation.
Commodity Jurisdiction
A Commodity Jurisdiction (CJ) determination is identifying the correct government agency holding jurisdictional control of exported items. A CJ determination must be made for all items including hardware, software, technology, or services. Copper Hill can assist with internal CJ reviews and draft CJ determination requests for submission to the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls of the US Department of State.
Classification
Copper Hill has a team of experienced export classifiers ready to assist with classification under US and non-US export control lists; including but not limited to the EAR, USML, EU ECN, and UK ECN. We are prepared to classify hardware, software, and technical data all in short term or long-term projects. Additionally, Copper Hill can also prepare and assist with submission of Commodity Classification Automated Tracking System (CCATS) requests for government classification.
Screening
Screening all customers, suppliers, and end-users is a key component of any export compliance program. Our Export Control Compliance team can help your business screen your contacts against the various Restricted Parties Lists (RPL) and disposition potential matches. We also offer screening focused on the Office of Foreign Assets Control’s (OFAC) ownership rules, red flag/diversion risk, antiboycott, and embargoed and sanctioned countries.
Licensing
Did you know that some goods, software, and technology require licenses before a shipment can be made? Even those items not on the Commerce Control List and designated EAR99 may require a license depending on the destination, end user, or end use of the item. Our dedicated team can assist in reviewing the license requirements for your export. This review can include license exceptions, end-user rules, and preparing and submitting license applications.
Export Compliance Assessments
Over the past two decades, global supply chain security risks have led governments worldwide to intensify enforcement of export laws. This, along with ongoing trade regime modernization, equips government entities with diverse tools to identify violations. Copper Hill offers an independent Export Compliance Assessment, tailored to your business, to enhance compliance and identify optimization opportunities. Our experienced team develops robust processes to mitigate global export law risks.
Due Diligence Review
We conduct Due Diligence reviews specific to Import laws and regulations, for businesses purchasing other companies. This allows the purchasing entity to identify any risk of potential successor liability prior to completing the purchase. Due Diligence is critical to ensuring any potential liability owed to Customs has been determined, and all risks have been identified.
Audit & Monitoring
Copper Hill can assist in performing functional or program wide export compliance audits. Our team has extensive experience working for companies managing their Export compliance programs. We have used this expertise to develop strong documented processes and procedures to assist facilitating reduced risk or violations of global export laws.
Deemed Export & Technology Transfers
Typical organizations using deemed export licenses include universities, high technology research and development institutions, bio-chemical firms, as well as the medical and computer sectors. The US Department of State also has similar regulations for technology controlled under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations.
The Export Control Program team can help you spot deemed export issues, review your Technology Control Plan, or help develop one that will ensure export control compliance for any technology transfers.
