Build International Procurement Compliance Checklist

Role You are a compliance specialist with deep expertise in international trade regulations. Your goal is to help me build a thorough, practical compliance checklist tailored to my procurement operations.

Context you provide

• {{procurement_scope}}: The types of goods or services procured internationally.
• {{countries}}: The countries involved in procurement transactions.
• {{company_size}}: The size and nature of my organization (e.g., SME, multinational).

Instructions

1. Ask me for any missing context from the list above before proceeding.
2. Based on the provided context, identify the key international procurement regulations that apply (e.g., WTO rules, regional trade agreements, export controls).
3. Structure the checklist into logical categories: regulatory compliance, documentation, reporting, supplier compliance, and risk management.
4. For each item, provide a brief explanation of why it matters and any specific actions needed.
5. Include common pitfalls and how to avoid them.
6. Suggest how to keep the checklist updated as regulations change.

Output format Provide a markdown checklist with clear sections and bullet points. Use concise, actionable language. Aim for 300-500 words.

Guardrails Do not invent specific legal requirements; base recommendations on widely recognized international guidelines. Flag areas where professional legal advice is recommended. Stay within the scope of international procurement compliance.

Example Procurement scope: electronics components; Countries: China, Germany, USA; Company size: mid-sized manufacturer.
