Export Controls Not a Problem

EXPORT LICENSING IS NOT A BARRIER TO INTERNATIONAL TRADE

As an exporter of goods, the understanding of your goods, trading environment and preparing your product for export is key. No doubt you have an in-depth technical knowledge of your product but you must also have an “understanding of your product” relating to its commercial and regulatory characteristics and market utilisation.

It is near to impossible to develop your export strategy and conduct market research without sales representatives, agents and a commercial team having an understanding of the licencing requirements of the goods and technology and how this will impact their sales activities and opportunities. This knowledge is fundamentally; what products can be sold, what regulatory constraints these trades may encounter and most importantly what needs to be done to achieve a completed sale.

Here at Ceterus Consultants Ltd, we often we see sales being agreed by contract or in principle and delivery dates being set, all before Export Licencing has been considered. Export Controls are one of the first factors that should be considered when engaging with a customer. Early engagement with the licencing process will reduce risk of delayed or cancelled orders.

Ceterus Consultants Ltd works with businesses to provide tailored Export Compliance solutions.
