Trade compliance

Responsible global trade for project-critical industrial supply.

ENGIC supports international engineering, procurement, industrial supply, manufacturing coordination, asset management, maintenance, modification, and operations requirements across energy, oil and gas, offshore, marine, infrastructure, utilities, process, water, power, and industrial markets.

Because our work may involve cross-border supply, technical products, industrial materials, manufacturers, suppliers, logistics providers, end users, regulated industries, and project-critical infrastructure, trade compliance is essential.

ENGIC is committed to responsible, lawful, ethical, and transparent business conduct across all markets where we operate.

We do not support transactions, supply routes, counterparties, end users, vessels, projects, or jurisdictions that are sanctioned, embargoed, restricted, prohibited, unlawful, or otherwise non-compliant under applicable trade, export-control, sanctions, anti-bribery, anti-corruption, anti-money-laundering, customs, or end-user compliance requirements.

Our trade compliance commitment

Compliance before commercial opportunity.

ENGIC's trade compliance approach is built on a simple principle:

No commercial opportunity is worth violating sanctions, export controls, anti-bribery rules, customs requirements, end-user restrictions, or responsible business standards.

We expect all clients, partners, suppliers, distributors, manufacturers, subcontractors, logistics providers, investors, and other counterparties to comply with applicable laws and responsible trade requirements.

This includes compliance with sanctions, embargoes, export controls, customs regulations, anti-diversion rules, anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws, anti-money-laundering expectations, restricted-party requirements, and accurate documentation practices.

For Singapore-controlled activity, this includes the Strategic Goods (Control) Act 2002 and subsidiary legislation, the Strategic Goods (Control) Order 2025 effective 1 December 2025, the Regulation of Imports and Exports Act 1995, customs requirements, and United Nations Security Council sanctions implemented through Singapore law.

Sanctions and Restricted Jurisdictions

No support for prohibited transactions.

ENGIC does not knowingly support business involving restricted, sanctioned, embargoed, prohibited, or unlawful jurisdictions, entities, individuals, vessels, end users, projects, or diversion routes.

This includes any transaction that may breach applicable sanctions, embargoes, export-control rules, trade restrictions, customs laws, anti-money-laundering requirements, or end-user restrictions.

Singapore implements United Nations Security Council sanctions through domestic law and does not generally enforce another state's unilateral sanctions as Singapore law. Foreign sanctions, banking controls, contractual obligations, origin-country restrictions, or a party's nationality may nevertheless apply to a transaction and may cause ENGIC to decline it.

ENGIC may decline, suspend, or terminate engagement where there are concerns involving:

→Sanctioned jurisdictions
→Embargoed countries or territories
→Restricted entities
→Restricted individuals
→Blocked or sanctioned vessels
→Prohibited end users
→Prohibited end uses
→Diversion risk
→False country-of-origin declarations
→Unclear ownership or control
→Opaque payment routes
→Unusual shipping routes
→Incomplete compliance information
→Suspicious intermediary arrangements
→Requests to alter documents improperly
→Requests to hide origin, end user, destination, or project information

Export Control

Controlled products, technical data, and end-use awareness.

Some industrial products, materials, equipment, technical documents, software, drawings, datasheets, specifications, or project information may be subject to export-control restrictions depending on the product type, origin, destination, end user, end use, and applicable law.

ENGIC supports responsible export-control awareness and expects counterparties to provide accurate information where export-control review is required.

Export-control review may consider:

→Product type
→Technical specification
→Material grade
→Pressure rating
→End-use application
→End user
→Country of origin
→Country of destination
→Transit route
→Manufacturer location
→Export-control classification where applicable
→Licensing requirement where applicable
→Re-export or transfer restrictions where applicable
→Technical data restrictions where applicable

ENGIC may request additional information before proceeding with a quotation, order, shipment, technical document transfer, or project support activity.

End-User and End-Use Compliance

Knowing who and what the supply is for.

ENGIC may request end-user and end-use information for certain transactions, especially where products, technical data, jurisdictions, shipping routes, client structures, or project applications create compliance concerns.

ENGIC may request information such as:

→End-user name
→End-user country
→Project owner
→Project location
→Final destination
→Intended application
→Industry sector
→Vessel name where applicable
→Delivery route
→Installation site
→Approved vendor list information
→End-use statement where required
→Confirmation that products will not be diverted to prohibited uses or restricted parties

ENGIC may decline transactions where end-user or end-use information is unclear, incomplete, misleading, or creates unacceptable compliance risk.

Anti-Diversion Controls

Preventing unlawful rerouting or misuse.

ENGIC does not support unlawful diversion, false routing, concealed end users, false origin declarations, hidden ownership structures, or attempts to route products through third parties to avoid sanctions, export controls, customs requirements, or trade restrictions.

Red flags may include:

→Refusal to identify the end user
→Refusal to identify the final destination
→Request to remove or change origin information
→Request to alter documents inconsistent with facts
→Unusual shipping route without commercial justification
→Third-party payment from unrelated entities
→Mismatch between buyer, consignee, end user, and destination
→Product inconsistent with the buyer's business
→Urgent request with incomplete compliance information
→Request to avoid normal documentation or inspection
→Use of shell companies or opaque intermediaries
→Instructions that appear designed to bypass restrictions

Where red flags arise, ENGIC may request clarification, conduct further review, decline the transaction, or terminate engagement.

Customs and Country-of-Origin Compliance

Accurate documents. Lawful movement of goods.

Cross-border industrial supply requires accurate customs, shipping, origin, and product documentation.

ENGIC expects clients, suppliers, manufacturers, logistics providers, and other counterparties to provide accurate, complete, and lawful information.

Customs and origin compliance may include:

→Correct product description
→Correct HS code where applicable
→Accurate country of origin
→Accurate manufacturer information
→Accurate consignee details
→Accurate end-user details where required
→Correct quantity and value
→Proper packing list
→Proper invoice information
→Proper shipping documents

ENGIC does not support false declarations, undervaluation, misclassification, concealed origin, false consignee information, or improper customs practices.

Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption

No improper payments, inducements, or hidden arrangements.

ENGIC is committed to ethical business conduct and does not tolerate bribery, corruption, facilitation payments, kickbacks, improper commissions, hidden incentives, document falsification, or misuse of commercial relationships.

This applies across clients, suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, agents, intermediaries, logistics providers, inspection agencies, government-linked entities, public-sector projects, and private-sector transactions.

ENGIC does not support:

ENGIC expects counterparties to conduct business transparently, lawfully, and responsibly.

Anti-Money-Laundering and Source-of-Funds Awareness

Transparent funds and legitimate counterparties.

ENGIC may review payment structures, counterparties, ownership information, and source-of-funds indicators where appropriate.

ENGIC may review:

→Buyer identity
→Beneficial ownership where relevant
