TCW combines expert-designed AI agents with human review to determine ITAR and EAR jurisdiction, classify defense articles and technical data, screen parties and destinations, and manage export authorizations in a secure, audit-ready environment.
Defense compliance starts with jurisdiction. Is the item a defense article on the USML, a 600-series or 9x515 item under the EAR, or a lower-level dual-use item? Every authorization, screening and technical data decision depends on that answer. Prime contractors flow down export control obligations to their suppliers, and organizations of all sizes are expected to show a mature compliance program.
Defense organizations often manage sensitive products, technical information, international transactions, and complex supplier networks. Without connected compliance processes, teams can struggle to maintain consistency, visibility, and documentation.
Applying the order of review and the ‘specially designed’ analysis across USML categories and 600-series ECCNs takes detailed technical review, part by part.
DSP-5s, TAAs, MLAs, BIS licenses, ITAR exemptions and EAR license exceptions each have their own scope, provisos and value limits that must be tracked through every shipment and technical data transfer.
Technical data, defense services, and access by foreign person employees, including dual and third-country nationals, require controls and records.
ITAR recordkeeping requirements and the possibility of voluntary disclosures mean every decision needs a traceable, defensible record.
TCW’s AI agents, designed by trade compliance practitioners, handle the research and analysis behind classification, screening and authorization decisions. Every recommendation cites its regulatory basis. Your team reviews, approves and owns every decision.
A Tier 2 supplier sends build-to-print drawings for a USML Category VIII component to a machining partner in the UK. TCW confirms jurisdiction and classification, screens the partner and destination, identifies whether a TAA or exemption applies, tracks the authorization, and records the full decision.
Defense trade compliance requires coordination across products, technologies, suppliers, customers, transactions, and regulatory requirements. Trade Compliance Workbench connects these activities through structured compliance workflows.
