Export Licensing.
Classified, applied, tracked.
Leah ingests your product catalog, classifies items against control lists, identifies license needs by destination, drafts applications, tracks validity, and routes end-use checks. Trade compliance made continuous.
Export controls move at the speed of paperwork. Shipments do not.
Product classification done item by item
Every SKU has to be evaluated against ECCN categories, USML entries, EU dual-use codes, and the Wassenaar list. Trade teams reclassify the same item across regions, often arriving at inconsistent answers because the work is manual and tribal.
License applications take weeks
BIS, ECJU, and EU competent authorities all want different forms with different supporting evidence. Drafting from a blank page each time, chasing technical specs, and routing for internal approval drags every application across multiple weeks.
Validity expiry surprises shipping
Licenses expire, get superseded, or shift in scope. Operations finds out at the dock when a shipment is held. The trade team scrambles to extend or reapply, and the customer order slips while paperwork catches up.
End-use checks done inconsistently
Some destinations get full end-use verification, others get a quick screen, and some slip through entirely. Without a unified record of who checked what and when, audit defense becomes a reconstruction exercise after the fact.
Cross-jurisdiction list updates lag
Control lists update constantly. New entities get added to denied parties lists, new items get added to dual-use schedules, sanctions evolve. Translating those updates into operational guidance for shipping teams takes weeks the business does not have.
Audit trail fragmented across tools
Classification decisions sit in spreadsheets, applications in shared drives, end-use checks in email, and renewals in someone's calendar. Pulling a defensible record for a single transaction means combining four sources by hand.
Catalog ingested, items classified, decisions explained
Leah reads the product catalog, technical specs, and engineering drawings, then classifies each item against US ECCN, USML, EU dual-use, and Wassenaar categories. Every classification carries the evidence and reasoning so trade counsel can audit, override, or sign off in minutes.
“Classification used to be three engineers and a lawyer arguing over a spec sheet. Leah gives us a defensible first pass on every SKU and lets counsel focus where it matters.”
Head of Trade Compliance, Industrial Manufacturer
Five steps to continuous export licensing
Leah integrates with the systems you already run. No rip and replace. Value from the first classification run.
Connect
Leah integrates with your ERP, PLM, CRM, and trade compliance systems. Product catalogs, technical specs, customer data, and existing license filings flow into a single intelligence layer without replacing what you run today.
Classify Products
Every item is evaluated against US ECCN, USML, EU dual-use, UK ECJU, and Wassenaar categories. Each classification carries the technical reasoning and source citations for counsel review.
Identify License Needs
For each transaction, Leah maps the item, destination, end user, and end use to license requirements. Sanctions, embargoes, denied parties, and exception eligibility are all checked together.
File Applications
Where a license is required, Leah drafts the application in the authority's format, pre-filled with your data and prior precedents. Internal review and submission happen in a focused workflow.
Track Validity
Active licenses are monitored for scope, validity, and condition compliance. End-use checks run before shipment. Renewals are staged ahead of expiry, with the trade team alerted in time to act.

No. Leah operates on top of your existing ERP, PLM, CRM, and trade compliance tools. Product catalogs, customer data, technical specs, and prior filings continue to live where they live today. Leah reads from those systems, runs classification and license workflows, and writes back decisions, application status, and end-use check results. There is no rip and replace.
Each regime is modeled as a first-class control layer. An item is evaluated simultaneously against ECCN categories, USML entries, EU dual-use codes, UK ECJU schedules, and Wassenaar list entries. Where regimes diverge on classification or license thresholds, Leah surfaces the divergence so counsel can apply the right answer for the specific transaction.
Yes. Control list updates, denied parties additions, and sanctions program changes flow into the same data layer that drives classification and license screening. When an entity is added to a list, Leah re-evaluates open transactions and active licenses for impact, and flags anything that needs a fresh decision before continuing.
ITAR-controlled work runs in a restricted environment with appropriate access controls and personnel scoping. Leah produces drafts and analysis under the same controls that govern the rest of the ITAR workflow. For controlled defense articles and technical data, deployment options include private instance and US-only data residency.
Before each shipment, Leah runs the customer, end user, and intended use against denied parties, sectoral sanctions, and red-flag indicators. End-user statements and intended-use confirmations are captured in the workflow and tied to the license file. The trade team sees a clear pass, escalation, or hold decision with the supporting evidence attached.
Yes. Leah is deployed by industrial manufacturers, aerospace suppliers, and defense electronics makers with strict data security requirements. Product specs and trade content do not train Leah's underlying models. Customer data is encrypted in transit and at rest. SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA-ready, and ISO 27001 aligned. Private instance deployment is available for customers with strict isolation requirements.
