Anovia is seeking an International Business Analyst to review and process international deal requests, ensuring every cross-border transaction complies with U.S. export control regulations, OEM shipping agreements, and international sanctions requirements.

Review product Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCN) and Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) codes to determine whether goods are eligible for export to the destination country under applicable EAR/ITAR regulations.
Cross-reference CCATS (Commodity Classification Automated Tracking System) determinations to validate classification accuracy for controlled items.

Review freight forwarder commercial invoices to ensure correct export details are included.

Documentation, Reporting & Process Improvement

Maintain accurate, audit-ready documentation for every deal reviewed, including screening results, classification findings, and final determinations.

Recommend and help implement process improvements, checklists, and tools that increase the speed and accuracy of international deal reviews.
