Capital Export Consulting ("CEC") provides a full range of export and import licensing services and expert consultation and advice to our clients. CEC is backed by John Fausti's 20 years of experience as an attorney in Washington, D.C. working extensively representing clients on export matters before the State Department's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls and the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security. We have obtained export and import licenses and approvals for countless clients and have assisted clients in preparing and submitting license applications.
CEC is registered with the State Department and is prepared to help you navigate the new electronic D-TRADE system for faster licensing approvals.
There are other firms that may provide some of these same export services. The difference will be that when you come to CEC, you will be assisted by experienced attorneys in the field of export law. Given the complexities and potential pitfalls that can result from noncompliance, we believe that a law firm such as ours is well positioned to help you. CEC can service your licensing needs, and at prices that are more than competitive with the non-attorney consulting firms that practice in this complicated area.
Avoid Violations with CEC
Compliance with today’s export regulations and controls is essential for companies exporting and importing defense articles and dual-use items. Violation of the export and import laws and regulations can result in civil and criminal fines, imprisonment and/or the loss of export privileges. For small businesses, compliance is absolutely crucial as suspension or debarment that results from an export violation can completely destroy a business. CEC can help you with all of your company’s export and import licensing needs and help you fully comply with export and import regulations and laws so that suspension and debarment will never be a threat to your business.
Regulating Agencies
Government agencies and offices that regulate exports of defense articles and dual-use items include the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security, the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, the State Department’s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls and the Justice Department’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. Exporters of defense articles and dual-use items that are not familiar with the agency regulations will find the regulations complicated and overwhelming.
The landscape of export and import compliance is continuously changing as the U.S. government focuses on homeland security issues. The government is investing more personnel and time to enforcement of export and import regulations. CEC helps exporters and importers to navigate this changing landscape by assisting with the compliance process and licensing needs.
