Reduce shipment delays and customs issues by certifying compliance of re-exported tech hardware and maintaining trade screening protocols.
Global Trade Compliance Certification refers to formal recognition that a company’s international business operations meet all applicable export, import, and regulatory standards.
The purpose of GTC certification is to demonstrate adherence to trade laws, improve supply chain security, and build trust with international partners.For technology hardware the stakes are higher, because servers, semiconductors, encryption-enabled devices, and dual-use components are among the most tightly controlled goods in world trade. A single misclassification or missed licence can mean a held shipment, a fine, or a lost market. If you are unsure of a code, our free HS Code Finder is a good starting point.
Carra Globe manages all of this on your behalf. We are a specialist compliance service provider, not an accreditation body. Where your business needs a recognised customs accreditation such as Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) or C-TPAT, we prepare you and support the application with the relevant authority.
Our goal is to help you scale safely, not to slow you down. We build compliance into your existing product, sourcing, and logistics workflows.
We understand the complexities of technology hardware: firmware, embedded systems, dual-use goods, and fast innovation cycles. Our services are tailored to them.
In the tech world, timing is everything. Our agile teams deliver actionable guidance and certification outcomes within your go-to-market timelines.
With regulatory experts across the U.S., EU, Asia, and LATAM, we ensure that your certification process is legally sound in every market you operate in.
Carra Globe certification is trusted by customs officials, regulatory bodies, and enterprise buyers worldwide. It becomes a badge of operational integrity.
Recognising and preparing for these differences is what turns a risky shipment into a routine one.
As governments tighten controls on sensitive technology, from semiconductors to cybersecurity software, hardware companies face growing scrutiny. Compliance is no longer optional.
Trade compliance works best alongside the rest of your cross-border operation. Carra Globe can also act as your Importer of Record or Exporter of Record, and deliver landed-cost certainty through Delivered Duty Paid shipping. To discuss a specific shipment, contact our team.
It is the process of meeting all export, import, and regulatory rules for a shipment. IT hardware often includes controlled, dual-use, or encryption-enabled items, so correct classification, licensing, and screening keep shipments moving and avoid fines or seizures.
No. Carra Globe is a compliance service provider, not an accreditation body. We manage classification, licensing, screening, and documentation, and where you need a recognised accreditation such as AEO or C-TPAT we prepare you and support the application with the relevant authority.
An Export Control Classification Number identifies how an item is controlled under US export rules. Many technology products, especially those with encryption or dual-use features, need one. We determine the correct ECCN for each product and component.
It is checking your customers, suppliers, and partners against government watchlists such as OFAC, BIS, EU, and UN lists before you trade with them. We can automate this inside your systems and keep the audit logs regulators expect.
Yes. If a past shipment may have breached export rules, we help draft the voluntary self-disclosure to BIS, DDTC, or OFAC, implement corrective actions, and support you through the process.
Straightforward classifications are often completed within a few days. Licence applications take longer: US EAR licences typically run 2 to 6 weeks and EU dual-use licences 1 to 3 months, depending on the item and destination.
We work across US EAR and ITAR, the EU Dual-Use Regulation, the UK export control regime, China export control law, and Wassenaar Arrangement guidelines, along with destination-country import rules.
