Russian Sanctions Evaluation and Export Compliance Reviews for Pending Transactions:

In May of 2024 TSI Global Consulting achieved a significant consulting “win” for a client on a Russia related project. Specifically, working on behalf of a major American agribusiness, we successfully negotiated and received an export license from BIS for our client to export up to $US 1 million dollars of agricultural machinery spare parts to a wide range of private sector agribusinesses in the Russian Republic. The license is in support of the US government objective to ensure that world agriculture and grain supplies (including Russian and Ukrainian supply chains) are not disrupted due to the war in Ukraine

In recent years we have advised on and provided “deep screening” on numerous transactions to ensure that our clients are not “caught” unknowingly exporting to criminal procurement networks sourcing clandestinely on behalf of Russian entities. On several occasions we have had to evaluate Red Flags and in a couple of cases we have had to reject potential transactions based on the excessive risk profiles of parties to transactions.
