Screening Overview
Understand denied party screening and how it protects your organization
What is Denied Party Screening?
Denied party screening (DPS) is the process of checking business partners against government-maintained lists of restricted, denied, or sanctioned parties. Exporting to these parties without proper authorization can result in severe penalties.
Why Screening Matters
Legal Compliance
U.S. export regulations require screening against government lists before exporting. Violations can result in fines up to $1 million per violation and criminal penalties.
Risk Mitigation
Identify risky parties before engaging in transactions. Early detection prevents compliance violations and reputational damage.
Due Diligence
Documented screening demonstrates good faith compliance efforts if questions arise. Essential for "Know Your Customer" requirements.
