Are you exposing your organisation to regulatory fines, shipment seizures, or lost international revenue because your export management and compliance programme lacks structure, audit readiness, or alignment with global trade controls? The Export Management and Compliance Program Toolkit delivers a complete, standards-aligned framework to assess, strengthen, and prove the maturity of your export compliance processes before regulators do. Built on international trade compliance best practices, including U.S. Department of Commerce Export Administration Regulations (EAR), International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), World Trade Organization (WTO) guidelines, and ISO 37301, this toolkit empowers you to eliminate compliance gaps, secure high-value contracts, and maintain continuous readiness for customs audits and regulatory reviews.
What You Receive
- 450+ structured self-assessment questions across 12 critical export compliance domains, including export classification, licensing, restricted party screening, recordkeeping, internal audits, and dual-use technology controls, so you can conduct a comprehensive programme evaluation in under 60 minutes and identify high-risk vulnerabilities.
- 12-Domain Export Compliance Maturity Model with a five-tier scoring system (Initial to Optimised) that maps each finding to actionable remediation steps, enabling you to prioritise risk-based improvements and justify compliance investment to executive leadership.

How This Helps You
You don’t just get templates, you gain a defensible, auditable export compliance programme that reduces legal exposure and builds trust with international partners. With the Export Management and Compliance Program Toolkit, you can pinpoint gaps in licensing controls, classification accuracy, and screening processes before they result in denied shipments, six-figure fines, or debarment from U.S. or EU markets. By implementing this structured assessment and remediation system, you turn compliance from a cost centre into a strategic enabler, securing contracts that require export licence assurances, passing third-party due diligence audits, and demonstrating governance maturity to regulators. Without a formalised programme, your organisation remains vulnerable to enforcement actions from BIS, DDTC, or HMRC, operational disruptions from denied transactions, and reputational damage from compliance failures. This toolkit ensures you’re not reacting to crises, you’re preventing them.
Who Is This For?
This toolkit is designed for compliance managers, export control officers, international trade specialists, supply chain risk leads, and legal counsel responsible for managing cross-border trade compliance.

Consultants use it to deliver structured assessments to clients, while internal auditors rely on it to validate controls.
