Our freelance trade compliance specialists take on full operational and strategic responsibility for your foreign trade compliance: from classifying goods in accordance with the EU Dual-Use Regulation and U.S. EAR, to creating and maintaining internal export control programs (ICPs), to sanctions list screening and embargo monitoring. They deliver concrete deliverables—risk analyses, license applications, training materials, and audit-ready documentation—that will stand up to regulatory audits. For companies operating internationally, this is not a “nice-to-have” but a regulatory requirement with significant liability implications.
Typically, companies turn to our freelance trade compliance specialists when an audit by the BAFA or customs is imminent, a new product or market portfolio needs to be reviewed for export control relevance, or the internal compliance function needs to be strengthened on short notice. Rapid action is also crucial when implementing a trade compliance management system or following the tightening of sanctions—for example, in the context of Russia, Iran, or China—to avoid fines, delivery suspensions, and reputational damage.

Our freelance trade compliance specialist profiles begin with a structured review of existing ICP documents, roles, escalation paths, and system reports. Standards (SOPs, checklists, decision templates) are then documented so that internal teams can continue to implement them. Knowledge transfer takes place through training sessions, joint case handling, and a handover that clearly identifies open issues and responsibilities.
The daily rate for our freelance trade compliance specialist profiles ranges from €900 to €1,300.

Our freelance trade compliance specialist profiles deliver, among other things, commodity classifications with data models, screening and hit workflows, as well as licensing and documentation packages.

When systems are involved, requirements, validation rules, and test cases are prepared in a way that allows IT and business units to implement them efficiently.
