Survey of Mid-Market Companies Highlights Good News/Bad News for U.S. Exporters

Caroline — Tue, 01 May 2012 14:50:40 +0000

A new white paper released today by Amber Road found that mid-market companies are increasingly at risk for violating U.S. export regulations. This is especially concerning because U.S. export volumes are on the rise. According to a recent U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis report, U.S. exports grew 7.7% from January 2011 to January 2012.

Amber Road surveyed 150 mid-market companies about their export compliance processes. They found that 23% do not screen for restricted parties prior to engaging with trading partners and customers, and only 41% have a comprehensive export compliance program in place. Not surprisingly, survey respondents pointed to a lack of executive sponsorship as a primary reason for their companies’ trade compliance deficiencies.

To learn more, read the full press release, or download a copy of the white paper.

British Businessman Extradited to the U.S. to Face Export Violation Charges

Caroline — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 18:14:42 +0000

After losing an appeal in British courts, Christopher Tappin was extradited from the U.K. and brought to the U.S. on February 24^th. Mr. Tappin, a British businessman, faces charges in connection with a scheme to illegally export parts used in Hawk surface-to-air missile systems to Iran. On March 5^th, a United States federal grand jury indictment was handed down. Mr. Tappin was charged with one count each for: conspiracy to illegally export defense articles, aiding and abetting the illegal export of defense articles, and conspiracy to conduct illegal financial transactions. If convicted, Mr. Tappin faces up to 20 years in prison.

Mr. Tappin was investigated by The Bureau of Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE), which is an agency within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. ICE established a front company for the purpose of detecting potential illegal exports. U.S. authorities allege that an associate of Mr. Tappin dealt with the front company to purchase items which were then exported to Iran via the Netherlands.

This case illustrates the extent to which the U.S. government will go to convict people (and companies) that commit export violations. It further demonstrates that anyone can be extradited and charged for violations of U.S. export control laws, regardless of their place of residency, and even if there are no equivalent laws in their country of citizenship.

Ensuring compliance with government export rules and regulations is a complex process. Effectively screening against restricted party lists, determining license requirements, and generating the necessary documentation for a shipment is often a challenge for exporters.

Learn how your company can automate (and simplify) these complex processes. Check out Amber Road’s Trade Export brochure.
