Manage sensitive freight exports with confidence
ACF Global Logistics helps companies navigate U.S. export control regulations administered by the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC), the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), and the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS). We support organizations moving controlled technologies, defense articles, and dual-use goods such as aerospace components, advanced electronics, military equipment, and industrial technologies.
You receive guidance on registrations, licensing requirements, and export classifications while building internal processes that reduce compliance risk. We combine trade compliance expertise with logistics experience so regulated shipments move internationally while remaining aligned with U.S. export control laws.

Helping you navigate export compliance
What export compliance services does ACF Global provide?
We support companies navigating U.S. export control requirements through guidance on ITAR, EAR, and BIS regulations. Services include export licensing support, product classification, and compliance program reviews that help businesses move regulated goods through international supply chains.
What is the difference between ITAR and EAR regulations?
ITAR governs the export of defense articles and services listed on the U.S. Munitions List and is administered by the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls. EAR regulates dual-use items and commercial technologies through the Bureau of Industry and Security. Both frameworks control how sensitive goods and technologies move across international borders.
Do I need to register with DDTC before exporting defense articles?
Companies involved in manufacturing, exporting, or brokering defense articles listed on the U.S. Munitions List must register with the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls. Registration establishes a company within the ITAR system and is often required before applying for export licenses.
How does ACF Global support BIS and EAR compliance?
We help companies understand how Export Administration Regulations apply to their products and international shipments. This includes guidance on classification, licensing considerations, and procedures that support compliance with Bureau of Industry and Security requirements.
What is export product classification and why is it important?
Product classification determines how a product is regulated under export control laws. Goods may fall under the U.S. Munitions List or receive an Export Control Classification Number under the EAR. Accurate classification helps companies determine licensing requirements and avoid compliance violations.
Do I need an export license to ship controlled goods internationally?
Some goods and technologies require export licenses depending on their classification, destination, and end use. U.S. export regulations administered by DDTC and BIS determine when licensing is required before a shipment can leave the country.
Can you help with ITAR-compliant shipping and logistics?
ACF Global supports logistics planning for shipments that fall under ITAR regulations. This includes coordinating transportation, documentation, and compliance processes so defense-related goods move through international supply chains in alignment with export control requirements.
