We focus on advising Australian entities on compliance with the ITAR, EAR and Australian Export Controls

We take a practical business approach to helping our clients comply with the ITAR, EAR and Australian Export Controls.

International Trade Advisors is a Sydney-based boutique consultancy serving multinationals and SMEs in the Australian defence industry since 2011.

We have assisted prime defence contractors, SMEs , research institutions and the Commonwealth with creating cost-effective compliance programs that are tailored to their needs. Our focus is on helping Australian entities understand U.S. and Australian export controls as well as offering guidance in relation to on-going management of an effective governance framework that considers the risks of working with export-controlled technology.

Our service offerings include risk reviews, training, assistance with technology classification, and understanding the regulatory requirements under the ITAR, EAR and Australian export controls. We work with US and UK advisors to conduct export controls compliance gap analysis against regulatory requirements, and draft uplifted compliance processes and procedures. ITA creates custom-tailored training for staff on export controls requirements for entities in Australia, their U.S., UK and other foreign subsidiaries, and for Australian subsidiaries of multinationals to ensure the entire organisation is across multinational export controls requirements.

Four times a year, we host live training courses for Export Compliance Officers, Project Managers and Engineers where these professionals can obtain updated training on the ITAR, EAR and AU export controls as well as network with others in the industry. The courses are two days in duration. Day One offers an introduction to export controls and Day Two is a hands-on workshop designed for those with responsibility for managing an export controls compliance program. The courses are held in Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide and Melbourne in the latter half of the calendar year. We also host an annual conference. Our conferences and trainings are focused on helping Australian industry and Commonwealth staff manage U.S. export controlled technology in Australia.

DIAS

Defence Industry Advisory Services

SMEs can realise outcomes equivalent to employing staff full time, while paying the equivalent of a part time senior executive fees. Difficult to find, specialist skills are accessible to multiple businesses rather than being locked within individual businesses. Key service providers can offer their services in this manner by aggregating demand enough to sustain their specialisation without needing to derive a full-time salary from one individual business.
