The Independent FTA & SPOM Exposure Diagnostic
You Don’t Have a Compliance Problem
You have a visibility problem.
Most exporters believe their trade compliance structure is “good enough”…
Until a shipment gets flagged.
Until MITI sends a query they can’t answer.
Until an audit reaches back six years and starts pulling threads.
And that’s when everything unravels.
What This Diagnostic Actually Does
The Indipendent FTA & SPOM Exposure Diagnostic is a structured review of your company’s entire trade compliance architecture.
A full breakdown of how your system actually performs under pressure.
We go inside your:
• Cost Analysis structures
• Documentation workflows
• HS classification logic
• Cross-department data flows
• MITI query-response handling
And we identify exactly where your system is:
-
Fragile
-
Inconsistent
-
Or quietly building future liability

Why This Matters Now
In 2026, compliance isn’t judged at the point of shipment.
It’s judged across years of historical data.
Customs are analyzing everything.
AI systems now surface:
• Inconsistent product descriptions
• Mismatched HS codes across documents
• Gaps in Cost Analysis logic
• Broken audit trails
And when they find one error…
They trace it across every shipment it touched.
That’s how small mistakes turn into multi-year exposure.
The Problems We Typically Uncover
Most companies come in thinking they have a documentation issue.
What we usually find is deeper.
Hidden Retroactive Exposure
Cost Analysis structures that look correct today,
But collapse under historical audit scrutiny.
Query-Response Fragility
Teams responding to MITI queries without a consistent internal logic,
Leading to delays, contradictions, and red flags.
Fragmented Data Flows
Finance, operations, and compliance working from different datasets,
Creating mismatches across invoices, K2 forms, and Certificates of Origin.
HS Classification Drift
Codes that have slowly changed over time,
Without being reconciled across past submissions.
“Set-and-Forget” System Risk
ERP or GTM systems executing flawed logic at scale,
Multiplying errors instead of preventing them.
What You Receive At The End
At the end of the 30 days, your leadership team gets a clear, structured view of reality.
Audit Exposure Map
Where your company is most vulnerable across past and current submissions.
Query Risk Probability Breakdown
Which parts of your process are most likely to trigger MITI queries.
Cost Analysis Vulnerability Report
Where your FTA eligibility is fragile, inconsistent, or at risk.
Compliance–Commercial Alignment Scorecard
How well your compliance structure supports or slows business growth.
90-Day Implementation Roadmap
What needs to be fixed, strengthened, or redesigned.
In order of priority.
Who This Is For
This is built for companies that already have:
• An internal compliance team
• Active export operations
• Exposure to FTAs and SPOM requirements
And want to answer one question:
“Is our system actually defensible… or just functional?”

The Outcome
Best case?
You discover your system is stronger than expected.
And you gain clarity on how to move faster, enter new markets, and optimize FTA usage with confidence.
Worst case?
You find the cracks before Customs does.
What Happens Next
After the diagnostic, you have two options:
-
Implement internally using the roadmap
-
Work with us to reinforce and optimize your system
Either way…
You walk away with control, clarity, and a defensible structure.
