Which Lists Are Searched?
TradeLasso screens against all 13 lists that make up the U.S. Consolidated Screening List (CSL), sourced daily from trade.gov.
The U.S. Consolidated Screening List
The Consolidated Screening List (CSL) is a unified export compliance resource maintained by the U.S. government that aggregates restricted party lists published by three federal agencies. TradeLasso queries the full CSL with every search.
Data is sourced from the official trade.gov CSL API and is synchronized daily. Each search you run reflects the most recently published list data.
Department of the Treasury — OFAC
The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions. OFAC-listed entities are generally prohibited from any U.S. transactions.
| List name | Description |
|---|---|
| Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List | Individuals and companies owned, controlled by, or acting for targeted countries or terrorist organizations. The primary OFAC list. |
| Non-SDN Consolidated List | Aggregates several OFAC non-SDN programs into a single list. |
| CAPTA List | Correspondent account or payable-through account sanctions targeting certain foreign financial institutions. |
| Foreign Sanctions Evaders (FSE) List | Foreign individuals and entities found to have violated U.S. sanctions or helped others evade them. |

| Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC) List | Members of the Palestinian Legislative Council who are affiliated with Hamas. |
| Sectoral Sanctions Identifications (SSI) List | Persons operating in sectors of the Russian economy subject to targeted sanctions. |
Department of Commerce — BIS
The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) administers export controls under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). Appearing on a BIS list does not necessarily prohibit all transactions but typically requires a license or imposes "presumption of denial."
| List name | Description |
|---|---|
| Entity List | Foreign entities subject to specific license requirements for the export, reexport, or transfer of items subject to the EAR. |
| Denied Persons List | Individuals and entities whose export privileges have been denied. Transactions are generally prohibited. |
| Unverified List | Foreign persons for whom BIS was unable to verify end-use. Exporters must obtain assurances before proceeding. |
Department of State — DTC and ISN
| List name | Description |
|---|---|
| AECA Debarred List (DTC) | Entities debarred from participating in the export or import of defense articles and services under the Arms Export Control Act. Administered by the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls. |
| Nonproliferation Sanctions (ISN) List | Foreign entities sanctioned under various statutes for contributing to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. |
Data freshness
Note
TradeLasso syncs with trade.gov daily. There is typically a short lag between when a government agency publishes a list update and when that update is reflected in TradeLasso. For the most time-sensitive transactions, we recommend verifying against the official government source as well.
