    The Trabex Trade Compliance API provides programmatic access to export
    compliance automation including shipment data submission, export
    documentation generation, Automated Export System (AES) filing, and
    restricted party screening (RPS). The API enables organizations to
    integrate compliance workflows directly into logistics and ERP systems,
    supporting single shipments, batch processing, and continuous screening
    operations. Trabex automates document creation, AES filing, and restricted
    party screening to reduce export compliance risk and errors.
