Sanctions screening

Screen one name or a bulk list against the OFAC SDN list, and read the result as the advisory signal it is.

Screening checks a name against the OFAC Specially Designated Nationals list.

Screen one name

eximagent sanctions check --name "Example Trading LLC"

Screen a list

Put one entity per line in an NDJSON file and screen the batch in a single call:

eximagent sanctions check --inputs names.ndjson
{"name": "Example Trading LLC"}
{"name": "Another Company Ltd"}

Never loop the single-name form over a list — see bulk input.

Reading the result

Matching is fuzzy by necessity. Company names transliterate inconsistently, get abbreviated, and collide with unrelated entities that happen to share a word. The result tells you what matched and how closely; it does not tell you whether you may proceed.

Where it fits

Screen before outreach, not after. Running it across a shortlist is cheap, and finding out late is the expensive version.

eximagent collection get --name <name>
eximagent sanctions check --inputs shortlist.ndjson
