Protectowire
The
Massachusetts Export Center has provided global business development
support to Protectowire, which exports to over 100
countries, including Russia. In early 2022, the U.S. tightened
sanctions and export controls against Russia. Realizing that there
would be scrutiny of transactions involving Russia, Protectowire
engaged the Export Center to conduct a risk assessment and review of
Protectowire’s export compliance protocols, including export control
classification, screening, end-use/user due diligence, distributor
awareness, and more.
The Export Center’s support enabled Protectowire to provide equipment for a major project in Russia and established an infrastructure to support future exports while ensuring compliance integrity.
