LATITUDE-33 CONSULTING, LLC

20+ YEARS IN GLOBAL TRADE COMPLIANCE

Focused on Assisting Small Businesses in International Trade

†  Committed to Integrity  ·  Focused on Excellence † 

TRADEWINDS LATITUDE-33 CONSULTING, LLC

Twenty years of export / import experience, explained at
the pace of a small company.

Global trade compliance blends technical classification skills, data-driven risk analysis, cross-cultural stakeholder management, and an ethical backbone that treats compliance as a condition of doing business rather than an afterthought.

​

After 20+ years in the field, the work that still matters most is sitting with a company that has never filed a license application, never opened a SNAP-R account, and is not sure whether a part is USML (military) or EAR99 (dual-use).

​

Tradewinds Latitude-33 Consulting, LLC does not assume you have a dedicated Empowered Official or a law firm on retainer. We assume you have a product, a customer overseas, and a desire to remain compliant with U.S. Government regulations.

​

The name Tradewinds Latitude-33 is a reminder of bearing: a fixed line, a known heading, and the discipline to stay on it.

​

The company’s mission is to create efficient, expert solutions and simplify complex compliance concepts enabling companies to excel in the global market.
