Amber Road's proprietary process for collecting, translating, interpreting and updating country-specific trade regulations has achieved ISO 9001:2008 recertification.

Amber Road commercialized trade content under the trade name Global Knowledge^®. In 2014, Global Knowledge was updated with over 13 million new records, with trade content sourced from government agencies in over 145 countries.

The ISO 9001:2008 is an internationally recognized set of standards for quality management systems developed and published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Both the ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board (ANAB) in the United States and the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) independently verified Amber Road's ISO 9001:2008 compliance.

The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) has issued a rule that adds 29 persons in Cyprus, Finland, Romania, Russia, Switzerland, Ukraine (including its Crimea region) and the United Kingdom to its list of entities restricted from receiving exports of dual-use goods from the United States. According to BIS, “dual use export licenses are required in certain situations involving national security, foreign policy, short-supply, nuclear non-proliferation, missile technology, chemical and biological weapons, regional stability, crime control, or terrorist concerns.” This rule is in response to the existing sanctions against Russia for violating international law with Ukraine.

In an era of heightened security, determining whether individuals, companies or organizations are restricted from conducting trade is essential. Exporters are responsible for ensuring that they are compliant with government regulations and that their goods are not being sold to undesirable entities. With this situation in mind, AeroTurbine, Inc. has selected the Amber Road restricted party screening (RPS) solution in order to upgrade its compliance processes.

AeroTurbine is a global aviation company specializing in supply chain management solutions, the sale and lease of aftermarket commercial engines, aircraft and parts, technical advisory services and aircraft maintenance to its customers located around the world.

Today’s supply chains are increasingly complex, and companies must manage risks both proactively and reactively to avoid disruptions such as quality issues, shipment delays, product shortages, and excessive expediting costs. Last month, Amber Road attended WIT-NC’s seminar, Best Practices in Export Control Audits for 2015, in Sunnyvale, CA. This event focused on the gold standard for export control audits in a post ECR and cloud computing world. Supply chain professionals attended the full day seminar to determine whether the principles of the Nunn-Wolfowitz Task Force Report of Industry Best Practices Regarding Export Compliance Programs, published in 2000, are still the gold standard for export control audits today.
