— Continuous monitor · continuous mirror

Where the shadow falls. The reading is yours.

Gnomon monitors regulatory change continuously and mirrors your portfolio's position against it — across Harmonised System (HS), Country of Origin (COO), and Export Control Classification Number (ECCN). Decision support, not a decision engine. The compliance work stays with your team.

— What Gnomon does

A monitor of regulatory change. A mirror of your portfolio's position against it.

Most classification tools tell you a code for one product, one time. Gnomon takes a different posture: it watches the regulatory record continuously, and reflects what each change means for the classifications your team already holds — across the full portfolio.

— Monitor

The regulations

BIS amendments. CBP rulings. WCO HS revisions. FTA renegotiations. Entity-list updates. Sanctions changes. We watch the regulatory record as a continuous feed, not as a quarterly look-up.

— Mirror

Your portfolio

HS, Country of Origin, and ECCN classifications for your products held as a live reflection of where each one stands today against the current regulatory state of the world.

— Indicate

The drift

When regulations move, the shadow on your portfolio moves with them. Gnomon surfaces what has changed and why, with regulatory evidence. Your team reads the dial and decides what it means.

— What it looks like

Every regulation on a single line. And where the shadow has moved overnight.

Your classifications mapped against the live regulatory record. The pointer is now. Anything behind the pointer that has drifted is shown drifting; anything ahead is shown pending.

Stable

Classification reflects the current regulatory state. The reading is unchanged.

Drifted

The current ruling has moved relative to where this classification stood. The shadow offset shows by how much.

Pending

Regulatory change scheduled or under consultation. Shown ahead of the pointer; not yet binding.

On MondayA BIS amendment overnight has shifted three of your ECCN 5A002 products into review. The products are unchanged. The regulations have moved.

— What Gnomon does not do

The compliance work stays with your team.

Gnomon is decision support. It surfaces what has changed and why. Your compliance team reviews, decides, raises the change request through your normal change-control process. The verdict, the audit trail, and the regulatory accountability remain yours — as they must.

+What Gnomon takes

  • Technical specifications relevant to classification
  • Bill of materials at the level needed for COO and ECCN
  • Manufacturing locations
  • Software and firmware versions
  • Existing classifications (HS, COO, ECCN)
  • Reviewer override history (to learn)
  • Industry and product-family taxonomy

What Gnomon does not take

  • Customer names
  • End-customer information
  • Contract values or unit pricing
  • Sales volumes or margins
  • Sourcing strategies
  • Product roadmaps beyond technical detail
  • Marketing positioning or competitive intelligence

The principle: what your customs broker already holds, nothing more.

— Who it's for

The in-house compliance director who owns the portfolio.

Gnomon is built for the person inside a manufacturer or technology company who carries the regulatory accountability — not for the customs broker filing entries one at a time. The buyer holds the portfolio. The buyer gets audited eighteen months later when something has drifted.

— Sector fit

Mid-market electronics and technology

Companies too small for SAP GTS or Descartes, too large for spreadsheets — typically a 1-to-3-person in-house compliance team handling HS, COO, and ECCN across a portfolio of hundreds to low thousands of SKUs.

— Multi-jurisdictional by design

Parallel regimes, one architecture

Most established trade tools default to a single master regime — EU or US — and treat the rest as satellites. Gnomon treats jurisdictional layering as structural truth. GB, Northern Ireland, EU, US in parallel is the sharpest example; the same architecture extends to any combination of regimes a customer operates across.

— Sister offering · for the incoming catalogue

When an acquisition lands on your desk, you inherit someone else's classifications.

Gnomon watches your own codes for wording shifts. But when a merger or acquisition adds the target's catalogue to yours, you inherit a classification problem you didn't choose — codes you didn't pick, BTIs you didn't write, judgement calls you didn't make. All of which start carrying your name the moment declarations go out under the merged entity.

Liquet grades the incoming catalogue against current customs wording before close. Drift, misclassification risk, aging supporting rulings — surfaced before any declaration goes out under your name. Grade the codes. Mirror the pipeline. Decide what to revisit before you sign.
