Question 1

What is the OFAC SDN list?

Accepted Answer

The OFAC Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list is maintained by the US Treasury Department. It identifies individuals, companies, and vessels that are blocked under US sanctions programs. US persons are generally prohibited from dealing with anyone on the SDN list, and their assets are frozen.

Question 2

How do I screen an entity for sanctions?

Accepted Answer

Enter the entity name, vessel name, or individual name in the search box above. Our tool screens against OFAC SDN, EU CFSP, UK FCDO, UN Security Council, DFAT Australia, and 200+ additional sanctions lists worldwide. Results show which lists flagged the entity, the entity type, and associated countries.

Question 3

How many sanctions lists does this tool cover?

Accepted Answer

This tool consolidates over 200 sanctions lists from 9 major jurisdictions including the United States (OFAC), European Union (CFSP), United Kingdom (FCDO), United Nations Security Council, Australia (DFAT), and Canada (OSFI). The database contains over 100,000 sanctioned entities and is updated continuously.

Question 4

What is the difference between OFAC and the Consolidated Screening List?

Accepted Answer

OFAC (Office of Foreign Assets Control) administers US sanctions programs and publishes the SDN list. The Consolidated Screening List (CSL) is a broader US government tool that combines OFAC with export control lists like the BIS Entity List, Denied Persons List, and Unverified List. For full compliance, screen against both sanctions and export control lists.

Question 5

Is this sanctions screening tool free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, sanctions screening on this site is free for manual lookups. The data is sourced from the OpenSanctions consolidated dataset. For automated screening via API or MCP integration, join the waitlist. Always verify results against official government sources before making compliance decisions.
