Guidance and Expert Advice.

At International Trade Advisors, our focus is on assisting Australian companies to understand their obligations under the ITAR, EAR and Australian export controls.

How can we assist you in meeting your compliance obligations?

As export controls evolve, access restrictions become more complicated, and cybersecurity requirements increase, you’ll need to ensure that you have adequate processes and procedures in place to manage controlled technologies.


DTCA and ITAR Needs Assessment

We offer consulting services that will help your organisation remain compliant with the export-controls, including updating your compliance program to reflect legislative requirements. Ensuring your governance framework is well-thought-out helps to avoid issues and violations. Our compliance health checks can help ensure your organisation is able to manage the access requirements and other obligations under the DTCA, ITAR and EAR.

Gap Analysis and Consulting

Contact us with questions about how changes to the ITAR, EAR and AU export controls impact the way you must manage controlled technology. When working with Compliance / Quality / Risk, we can help ensure that in updating your compliance program you are asking the right questions and providing the right resources to staff. Our consultants can review the legislative requirements against your business strategy and provide recommendations for improving compliance so that your business doesn't miss out on opportunities.
