A Trade Can Pass Every Sanctions Check And Still Not Be Allowed

The parties are clean, the payment looks ordinary, but the goods are dual-use, or the import breaks policy, or the item sits on a banned list. Sanctions and AML checks were never built to catch that.

WHAT THE PARTY CHECKS SEE
  • Buyer
  • Seller
  • Vessel
Every party clears.
No one looked at the goods.
WHAT THE GOODS SAY
  • !Dual-use goods
  • !Import & export policy
  • Customs duty schedule
The goods and the rules,
checked before you commit.

Check The Goods, And The Rules, On Every Trade

Flag Controlled And Dual-Use Goods

  • Screens every trade for dual-use and controlled goods automatically, by product, category and identifier, with no manual lookup.
  • Checks against the international control lists, Wassenaar, EU, US, UK and more, plus your bank's own banned and controlled lists.
  • Updates as the lists change, so a newly controlled item does not slip through.

Check The Trade Against Policy

  • Validates each transaction against your country's import and export policy orders and duty rules.
  • Verifies the HS code, unit of measurement and customs duty against the official schedule.
  • Raises the transactions that need enhanced due diligence, duty-exempt goods, high-duty goods and rebate-eligible exports.

What Gating The Goods Changes

Don't Finance What Can't Ship

A controlled or dual-use good is caught before the money is committed, not after it moves.

Stay Inside Your Own Rules

Every trade is measured against your country's policy, not a Western export regime built for someone else.

No Manual List-Hunting

The goods are matched to the control lists automatically, so nothing depends on an analyst remembering a rule.

Evidence For The Regulator

Each check leaves the record your regulator expects, ready to show.
