The Stakes Are Higher in Aerospace & Defense

Most industries face civil penalties for export violations. In defense trade, violations can result in criminal prosecution, loss of export privileges, and permanent debarment from government contracting.

Criminal penalties, not just fines

ITAR violations are prosecuted criminally. Penalties include up to 20 years in prison and $1M per violation — plus debarment from all future government contracts.

Every transaction needs its own paper trail

Each export, re-export, and deemed export requires documented due diligence. Spreadsheets and email threads are not an audit trail — and regulators know it.

Suppliers and subcontractors carry your risk

If your Tier-2 supplier ships a component to a denied party — and you didn't screen them — the liability flows upward. Your export control program must cover the entire supply chain.

International talent and partnerships complicate screening

Foreign nationals on your engineering team, overseas research partnerships, and international distributors all create deemed export and re-export obligations that require screening.

TradeLasso turns a 30-minute process into a 30-second one

Instead of navigating multiple government websites and manually cross-referencing spreadsheets, your compliance team types a name, reviews scored results, and downloads a report — all in under a minute.

Built for the Realities of Defense Trade Compliance

Every feature maps to a real workflow challenge your export control team faces today.

Screen in seconds, not hours

Type a name and hit search. TradeLasso queries all 13 U.S. government lists simultaneously — OFAC SDN, BIS Entity List, State AECA Debarred, Nonproliferation — and returns results in under 5 seconds. What used to take your compliance team 20–30 minutes per entity now takes less than a minute.

Fuzzy matching catches what exact search misses

Sanctioned individuals and entities don't always appear under the name your counterparty uses. TradeLasso's fuzzy matching catches transliterations, aliases, abbreviations, and known "doing business as" names that an exact-match search would miss. Every match is scored 0–100 so your team can prioritize review.

Audit-ready PDF reports in one click

Every search generates a timestamped PDF compliance report — entity name, date searched, database version, all matches with scores, and a clean no-match certification when applicable. Your export control officer can attach it to the transaction file the moment the search completes.

Screen your entire supplier list at once

Upload your vendor list as a CSV and screen every supplier, subcontractor, and distributor in one batch job. TradeLasso processes hundreds of records in minutes and flags every hit for manual review — with results exported as a structured CSV.

Daily-synced government databases

The lists change. A partner who was clean last quarter may be sanctioned today. TradeLasso syncs with the official U.S. Consolidated Screening List every day, so every search reflects the current published data — not a stale download from six months ago.

Complete search history, no manual logging

Every search your team runs is automatically recorded — who ran it, when, what was searched, what results came back. Your audit trail builds itself. When a DDTC or BIS audit comes, you produce the records in minutes.

How It Fits Your Compliance Workflow

TradeLasso plugs into your existing pre-transaction screening process — no integration required.

The Regulatory Framework You're Working Within

TradeLasso covers the lists published by every agency that matters for aerospace and defense exports.

ITAR

International Traffic in Arms Regulations · State Dept. — DDTC

Controls the export, re-export, and transfer of defense articles and services on the U.S. Munitions List. Requires screening of all foreign persons involved.

EAR

Export Administration Regulations · Commerce Dept. — BIS

Controls dual-use goods and technologies. Many aerospace components have ECCNs requiring licenses or impose "presumption of denial" for certain destinations.

OFAC

Office of Foreign Assets Control · Treasury Dept.

Administers and enforces economic sanctions. Transactions with OFAC-designated persons are generally prohibited, regardless of what is being exported.

AECA

Arms Export Control Act · State Dept.

The statutory basis for ITAR. The AECA Debarred List — included in TradeLasso — identifies parties prohibited from participating in defense trade.
