Export Compliance Certificate
Export compliance requirements state that only approved and export compliant organizations can receive export-controlled articles, technical data, and services. The challenge is that there is no governing authority reviewing and certifying your export compliance program against a standard - it is self-policing. This creates a compliance verification void that Excelerate has now filled with our Export Compliance Certificate.
Our export compliance verification process provides a Certificate of Export Compliance based on a set of criteria necessary to verify the elements required for an effective Export Compliance Program. The necessary elements include:
- Registration with the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC)
- Registration with the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS)
- A Technology Control Plan (TCP) that meets necessary compliance requirements
- A TCP Audit Plan that verifies compliance with the TCP
- Regular export compliance training for employees and administration
Upon verification, you will receive a digital Certificate of Export Compliance that is valid until the expiration of your DDTC registration. This Export Compliance Certificate can be used to provide verification that your organization has the elements needed for a valid Export Compliance Program. Excelerate will also provide a link where your business teammates, customers, partners,... can download your certificate for their records.
Please feel free to give us a call or send an email to initiate your Certificate of Export Compliance process. The certificate is available to U.S. and Non-U.S. organizations.
