Trade compliance consultants
Most businesses trading internationally carry more compliance risk than they realise. Customs obligations, export controls, sanctions screening, product licensing — the landscape is complex, and the consequences of non-compliance are significant.
Our trade compliance consultants assess your current position, identify gaps, and put the processes in place to keep your business compliant, competitive, and protected.
Compliance Assessment & Risk Mitigation
Supply chain teams are frequently unaware of the full scope of their trade compliance obligations — or they lack the systematic processes to meet them consistently.
Our supply chain consultants review your end-to-end compliance framework against EU and international requirements, including export controls, sanctions, embargoes, denied party screening, and product classification.
We identify exposures and deliver clear, prioritised actions to close them.
Trade Simplifications & Cost Reduction
Compliance isn’t just a risk management exercise — it’s a commercial lever.
Modern customs frameworks are designed to facilitate legitimate trade, and knowledge of the compliant options available is key to structuring your supply chain flows to maximise trade advantage.
Our trade compliance consultants identify opportunities to use trade simplifications, origin preferences, and free trade agreements to reduce duties, cut delays, and lower the cost of cross-border trade. We can engage with customs authorities on your behalf and help you build the internal capability to sustain what we put in place
Tariff & Regulatory Change
Changes in global tariffs — whether driven by Brexit, US trade policy, or bilateral agreements — can fundamentally shift the economics of existing supply chains.
Our supply chain consultants work with businesses to assess the impact of actual and proposed tariff changes, model mitigation options, and redesign supply chain structures where needed. We combine network design expertise with deep knowledge of classification and origin rules to address tariff exposure at source.
International Product Compliance
Product compliance requirements are expanding and becoming an increasingly complex supply chain discipline. Sustainability reporting, packaging legislation, cyber resilience standards, and carbon border adjustments are evolving at different rates and in different jurisdictions. For businesses trading across multiple geographies, keeping pace with changing requirements while maintaining day-to-day operations is a significant challenge.
Our product compliance consultants simplify the complexity of product qualification, certification, labelling, and reporting requirements.
We map the specific obligations relevant to your products and markets, identify where current processes fall short, and put systematic frameworks in place to maintain compliance as legislation evolves.
Certification & Customs Compliance
Supply chain certification delivers both compliance assurance and commercial advantage. External certification can be driven by industry and customer requirements — but it can also unlock significant process and commercial benefits. Our trade compliance consultants assess the relevance of certification for your business and manage the process in conjunction with your team, from initial gap assessment through to audit and beyond.
We support businesses at every stage — scoping requirements, preparing documentation, developing compliant processes, and training your team — ensuring you achieve certification and maintain it as your regulatory and commercial environment evolves.
We specifically support:
- AEO customs certification — provides assurance on customs processes and product security, and is a requirement to take advantage of many customs simplifications
- TAPA certification — ensures product security within your operation and through your supply chain processes
Customs & AEO Training
Building internal capability is as important as getting external support.
Our trade compliance consultants deliver customs awareness training at introduction and advanced levels, and guide teams through the AEO certification process — ensuring your people understand their obligations and can maintain compliance day to day.
