In today’s era of heightened
security, determining whether individuals, companies or organizations are
sanctioned by a government or restricted from conducting trade is essential.
Companies need to ensure that they are compliant with government regulations and
that their goods are destined for commercial use. Non-compliance can lead to
penalties, fines, loss of export privileges or, in extreme cases, imprisonment.
However, many companies face significant challenges in establishing whether a
party to a shipment has been placed on any official denied persons or illegal
trans-shipper list, blocked from import or export transactions, or sanctioned by
a government for illegal acts such as involvement in international terrorism,
narcotics trafficking, money laundering or weapons proliferation.
Organizations
without an
automated restricted party screening process
face problems such as:
▪
Implementing manual screening processes by logging in to various governmental websites and tracking results with paper-based forms
▪
Consistently implementing this process across multiple business units
▪
Maintaining an audit trail of each decision
According to the U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), violations for trading with a denied party can result in administrative fines of up to $120,000 or criminal penalties such as ten years imprisonment and $1 million per violation.
Screen customers against over 100
government issued
denied party lists
containing more than
120,000 restricted parties,
entities, terrorists, and debarred individuals.
