Why is export controls & sanctions training essential for compliance professionals?
Export Controls & Sanctions aren't static—they evolve, expand, and tighten. Staying current is not just smart—it’s required. Professionals in trade compliance, customs, and export operations are on the front lines of international regulation. Without expert training, a single oversight can lead to blocked shipments, reputational damage, or million-euro fines. Training empowers you to act with clarity and confidence.
What export controls & sanctions topics do your training sessions cover?
From sector-specific sanctions to country-focused restrictions and compliance measures, our courses are structured to give you the clarity you need. We look at embargoes, end-use and end-user controls, export classification, licensing, and enforcement priorities across EU, UK, and U.S. sanctions frameworks—including OFAC, OFSI, and DG TRADE.
What five types of training do you offer?
We offer five live, expert-led training sessions that are delivered throughout the year. These include:
EU Sanctions Against Russia (and Belarus)Understand and apply the latest EU sanctions targeting Russia and Belarus. Ideal for EU-based import/export and customs professionals.
Export Controls: Dual-Use (EU Focus)A 4-hour deep dive into handling dual-use items. Master classifications, catch-all controls, and licensing strategies.
Export Controls: EAR (U.S. Focus)Navigate the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), understand Commerce Control List (CCL) classifications, and avoid red flags.
U.S. Export Controls: ITARMaster U.S. defence trade rules. Understand registration, technical data controls, and brokering requirements under the ITAR.
Navigate Sanctions Like a Pro!Our flagship sanctions training! Learn how to confidently manage embargoes, transit controls, and due diligence across global regimes.
Each session runs at various times throughout the year and is also available as a private in-house session or bespoke company plan.
How are these sessions delivered and who teaches them?
Live. Online. Expert-led. Each course is delivered in real time by experienced trainers who bring decades of legal, regulatory, and industry knowledge. Sessions are engaging and packed with practical tips, case studies, and interactive Q&As. Think more workshop than webinar.
Can companies book customized training?
Absolutely. We specialize in customized training plans tailored to your sector, business model, and trade exposure. Whether you need focused ITAR training for engineers or EU sanctions onboarding for procurement teams—we’ve got you covered.
What’s the difference between EU, UK, and US sanctions?
Three jurisdictions, three compliance styles.The EU favors diplomatic consensus and sectoral sanctions, the UK’s OFSI regime is rapidly growing in scope and enforcement powers, while the U.S. via OFAC and BIS deploys extraterritorial enforcement with real teeth. Our training explores these differences and gives you the tools to comply globally.
Who should attend these training sessions?
Anyone involved in trade, legal, compliance, export, logistics, sales, or procurement. Whether you're a solo compliance officer, an SME exporter, or part of a multinational team—if you touch export controls or sanctions in any way, these sessions are for you.
When and how can I book?
Trainings run year-round. You can check the latest dates and book online at www.customsmanager.org/events. Need something bespoke? Contact us directly to build a tailored plan for your business.
