Advisory
Trade advisory, scoped to the job.
Market entry, licensing, customs, and compliance help from people who do this work.
Cross-border deals usually go wrong on details you can't see from a desk: who the credible partners are, what the regulators actually require, and whether the paperwork will hold up. We work through those details with you, on a single shipment or as ongoing support.
Where an action is legally reserved for a licensed customs broker or attorney, we advise, coordinate, and bring in licensed partners. We don't file or represent in your place.

What we help with
Capabilities
Market entry planning
Pick the right target market, check where demand is actually moving, and build a realistic route to market before you spend on entering.
Selling into the United States
We map and coordinate the U.S. inbound path: FDA registration, USDA/APHIS, HTS classification, importer-of-record setup, and an antidumping/countervailing check, working with licensed customs brokers and registered U.S. Agents where required.
Distributor, agent & buyer search
We look for credible local partners and run registry, trade-history, and financial checks before you commit.
Regulatory & registration mapping
The licenses, standards, certifications, and registrations a product needs to legally enter a target country, mapped end to end.
Licensing, classification & duties
Import and export licenses, correct HTS classification, free trade agreement qualification, and duty drawback, coordinated with a licensed filer where one is required.
Sanctions & counterparty screening
OFAC and BIS Entity List screening on counterparties before you transact.
Incoterms & contract terms
Many cross-border disputes trace back to the wrong Incoterm or a weak contract. We structure terms alongside your counsel.
Supplier checks & logistics
Supplier verification, pre-shipment inspection coordination, and help choosing and managing forwarders and customs brokers.
Compliance procedures & training
Screening procedures, documentation standards, and staff training for a growing trade operation. Often run as a monthly retainer.
Who it's for
Built for teams that need someone who has done this before.
- Companies entering a new market, and foreign producers selling into the United States.
- Importers and exporters whose shipments keep getting held, delayed, or hit with unexpected duties.
- Buyers and sellers who need help getting their documents ready to onboard with a trading house.
- Teams that need help on a single shipment, or ongoing support.
How engagements work
Scoped after a short intake and quoted to fit the work: hourly advisory, a fixed project, or an ongoing retainer. You'll know the structure and the fee before we begin.

Common questions
Which markets can you help with?
Our team and network cover parts of Africa, South Asia, the Middle East, and China, and we help international companies enter the United States. Tell us the market and we'll tell you plainly whether we're the right fit.
Do you file customs entries or give legal opinions?
No. We advise and coordinate. Where an action is legally reserved for a licensed customs broker or attorney, we bring in a licensed partner rather than filing or representing in your place.
Can you help with a single shipment or only ongoing work?
Both. We take one-time projects for a single held or at-risk shipment, hourly advisory, and ongoing retainers.
How is advisory work priced?
We scope and quote each engagement after a short intake: hourly, by project, or on retainer. You'll know the structure and the fee before anything starts.
Tell us what you're trying to do.
Share the situation and the outcome you need. We'll scope it and come back with a plan, usually within two business days.
