Question 1

How do I check if a company is sanctioned?

Accepted Answer

Type the company or person's name into the search bar above. Embargo compares it with supported registry evidence, including the BIS Entity List, OFAC SDN list, and EU and UK sanctions sources, then returns available match candidates for review.

Question 2

Is this embargo check free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Public screening results are available without signup. A Free account includes 25 individual screenings per month and up to 5 saved counterparties. Paid plans add higher monitoring capacity, bulk screening, evidence exports, and delivery options.

Question 3

Which lists does it screen against?

Accepted Answer

Embargo screens against 10 jurisdictions, including the US (OFAC SDN, BIS Entity List, Denied Persons List, Unverified List, Military End User List), EU, UK, Japan, Netherlands, Germany, UN, Canada, Australia, and Switzerland, plus UFLPA forced-labor and DoD Section 1260H lists.

Question 4

What is restricted party screening?

Accepted Answer

Restricted party screening is the process of checking a counterparty's name against government-maintained sanctions, export-control, and denied-party lists before doing business with them, to avoid prohibited transactions and regulatory penalties.

Screen a counterparty. Inspect the evidence.
