Legal compliance statement

1. Declared activity

The company GLOBAL IMPORT EXPORT, registered under number SIREN 100 068 824, carries out the following activity, strictly in accordance with its corporate purpose:

This activity relates exclusively to non-regulated products and equipment. GLOBAL IMPORT EXPORT neither markets nor facilitates the marketing of any dual-use good, any product subject to prior authorisation, any military or security item, nor any regulated substance. Every reference is validated upstream against this scope.

2. Beneficial owner & transparency

In accordance with the transparency obligations applicable to international trade, the beneficial owner of the company is LEFRENE Joffrey Marcel Emile, President / founder. The beneficial-owner declaration is kept up to date with the competent register and communicated on request to our banking and commercial partners.

3. AML, sanctions & trade-based money-laundering policy

International trade is a known vector for trade-based money laundering (under-invoicing, over-invoicing, false declarations of value or origin). GLOBAL IMPORT EXPORT applies an active prevention policy:

• Counterparty identification: every supplier and every buyer is identified and subject to documentary verification before any transaction.
• Sanctions screening: every supplier, buyer, intermediary, carrier and correspondent bank is screened against the applicable sanctions and embargo lists (European Union, United Nations, United States and relevant local lists).
• Economic coherence: we refuse any transaction whose value, origin, destination or structure lacks a plausible commercial justification.
• Flow traceability: every shipment is backed by a complete documentary file (contract, invoice, transport documents, certificate of origin) enabling the flow to be reconstructed.
• Genuine transport documents: we accept no falsified, backdated or non-matching bills of lading or documents.
• Reporting: any suspicion is recorded and, where applicable, reported to the competent authorities, in compliance with the applicable obligations.

4. Customs compliance

• Tariff classification: every reference is classified under the appropriate Harmonised System (HS) nomenclature code, determined by us before any shipment.
• Origin: the origin of the goods is documented and declared accurately (certificates of origin, preferential origin declarations where applicable).
• Duties & VAT: customs duties and import VAT are determined and declared in accordance with the regulations in force.
• Approved intermediaries: formalities are entrusted to established customs brokers and freight forwarders, in liaison with our banking broker.

5. Product compliance — CE & REACH

For every product marketed, we identify the applicable European regulatory requirements and compile the corresponding file:

• CE marking: where the product falls within the scope of a directive or regulation requiring CE marking, we verify the declaration of conformity and the technical documentation established by the manufacturer.
• REACH regulation: we ensure that the substances contained in the products comply with the applicable registration, restriction and authorisation obligations, and we retain the information provided by the manufacturers.
• Retained documentation: declarations of conformity, technical data sheets, safety data sheets — all kept available to the market-surveillance authorities.

6. Documentary trade — letters of credit & bills of lading

• Letter of credit (LC): we operate and accept irrevocable letters of credit to secure payments, in accordance with the ICC Uniform Customs and Practice (UCP).
• Bills of lading & titles: ocean bills of lading, waybills and other titles are issued by genuine carriers and retained in our operational files.
• Documentary coherence: invoice, packing list, transport documents and certificates are reconciled before any settlement, to ensure the documents match the goods.

7. Insurance & intermediaries

Our shipments may be covered by transport insurance. Our banking and insurance relationships are established with established institutions. The complete documentary file (KBIS, articles of association, beneficial-owner declaration, EORI/VAT identifiers, trade references) is available on request via our contact.
