Many countries have governmental entities that monitor the global trade activities of the companies and organizations. Their work is to do an inspection of export companies and their work. There are certain rules and regulations that an export company should follow while operating with multinational companies. The U.S Department of Commerce issues lists of companies, persons and entities which are sanctioned and/or restricted from certain business activities in and outside the country. The lists help screening the trade partners, and screening function obviously needs to be built better and more effective. Restricted party lists include all trade partners who violate one or more U.S. federal or state government regulations and thus need to be carefully integrated to the screening program. Regardless of the type activity, violations of regulations can place the companies and individuals in the sanctioned, denied or restricted party lists. In addition, the lists are updated quite often; new names are added while some of restricted names are removed.
How does the screening process work?
After a violation of certain regulations, the company, entity or an individual is immediately placed on the list and they are usually recorded by their known names, aliases and last known address. As the watch lists frequently change, most up-to-date lists should be obtained immediately. The denied party screening process should be effectively built based on the below basic principles:
Efficient and Reliable Management:
The screening activity is performed quickly since the work schedule gets busier day by day and thus obtaining the fast and accurate reports is very critical. Every company or organization can verify its trade partners through this screening program and protects itself from a potential violation.
Users are provided with many search options and with all the name of the trade parties who are safe to work with. One can be safe from any kind of exploitation. Users are notified on updates on the sanctioned party lists and current updates with the latest regulations.

Reasons for Placing a Company, Organization or a Person in the Restricted Lists:
There are various reasons to put the company, organization or an individual in the restricted list. Some of them are as follows:
- Any business or individual acted in a transaction contrary to the laws and regulations,
- If the export privilege is denied due to any violation of rules,
- Acts of terrorism, drug trafficking, money laundering, corruption and other criminal activities.
- Entities, which are marked as a red flag or unknown, must be dealt with a caution.
If any company, organization or a person is listed in the denied party lists then it is strictly instructed not to continue with them on any business transaction as the export license may be required.
In summary, the U.S government agencies and many foreign agencies issue the lists of individuals and entities and require all persons and businesses to incorporate those lists into their business process in order to avoid illegal activities and export violations. This helps companies to be safe from fines and stiff penalties, and along with the accurate export classification of goods and technologies, it brings the best in the export compliance.
