About TradeApps
Professional tools for complex compliance work.
TradeApps develops source-driven mobile reference applications for professionals working in U.S. trade compliance, including export controls, import compliance, customs, tariff classification, and defense trade.
Why TradeApps exists
Trade-compliance professionals routinely work across dense regulations, agency guidance, official notices, classifications, authorizations, and operational records. TradeApps is built around a simple idea: the tools used to research that material should be faster to navigate, easier to carry, and clearer about where the underlying authority comes from.
Focused products
Each Field Guide is centered on a defined regulatory or operational subject instead of forcing unrelated workflows into one oversized application.
Source-first design
Authoritative U.S. Government sources are prioritized, with source identity and verification information preserved where applicable.
Professional workflow
Search, navigation, citations, bookmarks, history, and update tools are designed around practical research work rather than consumer-app engagement patterns.
Clear boundaries
TradeApps distinguishes regulations, agency guidance, and application-generated organization. The products are reference and productivity tools, not substitutes for legal judgment.
The product family
The TradeApps portfolio is designed as a consistent family of specialized Field Guides. Current and planned products include ITAR Field Guide, EAR Field Guide, USMIL Field Guide, Customs Field Guide, HTS Field Guide, and Defense Trade Field Guide.
Government-source distinction
TradeApps is an independent software brand. It is not a U.S. Government website, agency, or official government application, and it does not imply government endorsement. Links to government sources are provided so users can reach the underlying authoritative material directly.
Product philosophy
TradeApps favors traceability, maintainability, restrained design, and professional usability. Regulatory content is structured so it can be updated as authorities change, and historical or superseded material may be retained when useful for research context.
