Compliance policies
STRATEX operates as an export- and procurement-aware infrastructure operator. Below are the policies we follow and the artifacts we produce.
Policies
Policy set
Designed for distributors, system integrators, and cloud/DC operators that need audit-ready evidence and predictable handoffs.
1) Export Control & Sanctions Screening
We follow a compliance-first workflow for controlled items, dual-use risk and restricted destinations.
- Destination assessment: country, end-user category, intended use, transshipment risk.
- Party screening: buyer, consignee, end user, forwarder -- against restricted party lists (as applicable).
- Classification support: assist with HS codes and, when required, export-control classification inputs (customer/attorney-led for formal determinations).
- Red-flag handling: pause -> request clarification -> document resolution -> proceed or decline.
Output: Compliance checklist + red-flag log + shipment decision record.
2) Verification & Evidence Policy
Evidence reduces disputes and accelerates procurement approvals.
- Serial capture: per device/asset (when present) + model/SKU/P/N normalization.
- Condition grading: cosmetic and functional notes; exceptions documented.
- Media pack: photos/video proof by pallet/lot; tamper-evident labeling where needed.
- Exception workflow: isolate item -> propose substitution/credit -> confirm in writing.
Output: Evidence pack (photos/videos) + serial inventory + exception report.
3) Data Security & ITAD Separation
STRATEX infrastructure supply is kept operationally separate from any disposal/ITAD programs.
- No commingling: customer sourcing/repair streams are separated from end-of-life processing.
- Data-bearing media handling: by default, storage media is removed/segregated unless customer instructs otherwise.
- Sanitization options: customer-approved wiping standards; or physical destruction via partner service (where applicable).
- Chain-of-custody: documented custody transfers for sensitive lots.
Output: Media handling log + chain-of-custody records + optional sanitization certificate.
4) Packaging, Labeling & Forwarder Handoff
Export shipments fail on packaging and paperwork -- this policy prevents that.
- Palletization: standardized stack, wrap and edge protection; shock indicators when required.
- Labeling: pallet IDs, lot IDs, weight/size markers; cross-reference to packing list.
- Docs readiness: invoice + packing list + serial inventory + HS review notes.
- Handoff kit: forwarder pickup instructions + contact sheet + exception log.
Output: Export-ready packing list + pallet ID map + forwarder handoff kit.
