Sanctions & Tariff Lookup
Screen a list of parties against U.S., UN, UK and EU sanctions lists
Paste or upload up to 500 customers, suppliers, consignees, vessels or people and screen them all at once against mirrors of the U.S. Consolidated Screening List (OFAC, BIS and State Department lists), the UN Security Council Consolidated List, the UK Sanctions List and the EU consolidated financial sanctions list. Results show on screen, and the page builds a dated PDF screening record of the run for your files.

What the record contains
- Title, record ID, your organization and the name of the person who ran it (both optional, typed by you and stored nowhere).
- Date and time of the screening (your computer's clock, and the time stated by this service in its responses).
- Every list screened, with its publisher, as-of date, file timestamp and entry count, the mirror data version, and any list that was not searched.
- The matching method and threshold, and what each result means.
- A table of every party with its result (possible match or no match), best match, list, programs and score.
- For each possible match: up to three list entries with the listed name and the alias that matched, list and agency, programs, type, countries, addresses and dates of birth where the list gives them, the listing date, why it matched, and a link to the publisher's list entry.
- A "reviewed by / date / notes" block for the person who verifies the possible matches.
- A record ID and a SHA-256 of the record content, which is attached to the PDF as a JSON file. Note the hash in your own log when you file the record; a matching hash later shows the attachment has not changed since then. The record is generated in your browser and is not signed or kept by Starry Night, so it is not proof of authenticity.
How it works
- The page reads your list (pasted text or a CSV file) in your browser.
- It sends the names in batches of 25 to this service, which screens them against its mirror with the same matching as the connector's tools: names and aliases, any word order, accents, company suffixes (LLC, Ltd, GmbH, OOO), small typos, Cyrillic and common transliterations. Nothing is stored or logged.
- Results appear on screen, and the PDF is built in your browser from those results.
Limits
- U.S., UN, UK and EU lists only. Other national lists are not included.
- Name-based matching. Common personal names can match listed people with the same name; compare dates of birth, addresses and ID numbers before drawing conclusions.
- Ownership is not checked: entities owned 50% or more by blocked persons (OFAC's 50 Percent Rule) can be blocked without being listed by name.
- A record documents a screening run. It is not legal advice and does not show that any party is or is not sanctioned or restricted.
- The mirror is compared with the publishers' files at each update check and can lag them; the record shows each list's as-of date.
Questions
How many parties can I screen at once?
Up to 500 per run, pasted one per line or uploaded as a CSV file with a name column and optional country and type columns. The OFAC and trade.gov search pages take one name per search.
Which lists are screened?
Every list loaded in this mirror: the U.S. Consolidated Screening List (SDN, EL, DPL, DTC, SSI, UVL, ACN, PLC, MEU, CMIC, NS-MBS, CAP, FSE), which combines the Treasury (OFAC), Commerce (BIS) and State Department screening lists, the UN Security Council Consolidated List, the UK Sanctions List and the EU consolidated financial sanctions list. The record names each list with its as-of date.
Is the list I screen stored?
No. The page sends the names to this service in batches of 25, each batch is screened in memory and discarded, and nothing about the names or results is stored or logged. The PDF record is built in your browser.
What does the PDF record contain?
The date and time of the run, every list screened with its as-of date, file timestamp and the mirror data version, the matching method and threshold, every party screened with its result, the details of each possible match with a link to the publisher's list entry, a reviewed-by block for a person to fill in, a record ID and a SHA-256 of the record content, which is also attached to the PDF as a JSON file. The record is generated in your browser and is not signed or kept by Starry Night, so note its hash in your own log when you file it.
Does a no-match clear a party?
No. A name search can miss a party listed under another name or spelling, and entities owned 50% or more by blocked persons are blocked under OFAC's 50 Percent Rule even when they are not listed by name. A no-match means no list entry scored at or above the threshold for the name as entered.
How do I confirm a possible match?
Open the list entry or list page link in the record, compare the identifying details (addresses, dates of birth, ID numbers, vessel identifiers) with what you know about the party, and write the outcome in the review block of the PDF. For OFAC lists you can also use OFAC's Sanctions List Search at https://sanctionssearch.ofac.treas.gov/.
