Full-Service Export Licensing

CTP delivers technical and regulatory assistance with both military and dual use export licensing.

The uncertainty around export licensing is creating headaches for executives as they struggle to understand how the waves of export control reforms will change their business processes and compliance requirements. In light of the growing “600 series,” even experienced exporters must verify their product’s jurisdictions (EAR or ITAR) and classification (ECCN or USML Category). Often our clients seek assistance with the entire export license process, from classifying the item to exploring exemptions to submitting applications within the appropriate electronic licensing system (SNAP-R or DECCS).

CTP experts are well equipped to handle all export licensing tasks. Our staff includes former BIS engineers and licensing officers and legal specialists who are uniquely qualified to provide both technical and process-related assistance to applicants.
