Our Commitment to International Trade Compliance
Hexcel, a leading global supply chain partner, is dedicated to ensuring seamless import and export processes through our rigorous International Trade Compliance program. By collaborating closely with our vendors, transport agents, and customers, we guarantee the secure delivery of our premium products while adhering to all local and international trade laws and regulations. This commitment not only safeguards our operations but also enhances the experience for our valued customers.
Supply Chain Security Initiatives
Hexcel actively participates in key supply chain security programs such as the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) and the Authorized Economic Operator (AEO) programs. These initiatives enable us to mitigate potential delays in delivery, especially during challenging times when import volumes may be restricted by certain countries. By proactively engaging in these security programs, we uphold our promise of maintaining a reliable supply chain for our customers worldwide.
Export and Import Compliance
Our robust export compliance framework involves close collaboration with government authorities to ensure full adherence to national export requirements. Through meticulous classification of goods, software, and technology, Hexcel accurately determines the need for export authorizations or license exceptions. On the import side, we conduct regular reviews of import regulations across our supply chain partners' countries to guarantee lawful importation of goods. This proactive approach allows us to optimize customs procedures and streamline import processes effectively.
Strategic Technology Control Plan
Given the sensitive nature of our technology used in product manufacturing, Hexcel maintains a stringent Technology Control Plan. This comprehensive plan governs the transfer of technology within and outside the organization, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. By securing government approval for this process, we protect not only our proprietary technology but also uphold the confidentiality of our customers' technology. This embedded security measure underscores our commitment to technological integrity and confidentiality.
Empowering Through Training
At Hexcel, we prioritize continuous learning and awareness of trade compliance regulations. We provide comprehensive training to our employees and business partners to equip them with the knowledge needed for seamless import, export, and transportation processes. By fostering a culture of compliance, we empower our stakeholders to navigate the complex landscape of international trade regulations with confidence and expertise.
