A Comprehensive Denied Party Screening Solution With Descartes MK Denial™

Governments and agencies throughout the world frequently publish and update lists of entities and countries to whom certain exports are prohibited or restricted. Exporters are responsible to ensure that business is not transacted with prohibited or restricted companies, countries or persons. Criminal and civil penalties; including fines, imprisonment and the denial of export privileges; can be imposed on exporters, their intermediaries or agents that export, re-export, forward or transport goods to sanctioned, restricted parties or countries.

However without a single source of information, effectively reviewing multiple agencies and country-specific government sources, as well as independent denied or restricted party lists, can be costly and time-consuming.

Our comprehensive global database includes options to review all relevant denied or sanctioned party lists include the following and many others.

• United Nations (UN)
• European Union (EU) Sanctions Lists
• Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and multiple U.S. Government Lists maintained under the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC),
• International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) Wanted person List
• Australian Consolidated
• Japanese Proliferation Concerns (METI)

Users can search multiple lists simultaneously using single or multiple fields to quickly locate the DPS-related information that best applies to an industry or type of export.

This solution is flexible and extensible to meet the needs of businesses as they grow. Companies can layer additional premium content as they expand into new locations, lines of business or verticals.
