Coverage and methodology

Built for disciplined, evidence-based preliminary screening.

ExportCheck connects item classification, destination controls, and restricted-party screening in one review. The product is broad by design, but it is equally explicit about what a preliminary result does—and does not—decide.

01 · Source coverage

All source groups represented in the current U.S. CSL inventory.

The screening service searches more than 26,000 current records across the twelve source groups below. Each result retains its responsible agency and list identity.

Commerce

4 source groups

Entity List · Denied Persons List · Unverified List · Military End User List

State

2 source groups

AECA / ITAR Debarred · Nonproliferation Sanctions

Treasury

6 source groups

SDN · SSI · CMIC · Non-SDN Menu-Based Sanctions · Palestinian Legislative Council · CAPTA

02 · Decision method

The app explains the restriction—not only the name match.

  1. 01

    Official-source grounding

    Results begin with the U.S. Consolidated Screening List and are supplemented with the applicable agency record, regulation, order, or Federal Register notice when available.

  2. 02

    List-specific logic

    ExportCheck does not treat every list hit as the same. Guided questions follow the restriction type, transaction role, item scope, authorization status, and entry-specific terms supported by the record.

  3. 03

    Identity before consequence

    Name similarity ranks possible matches; it does not establish identity. Users compare names, aliases, addresses, countries, and other identifiers before applying a restriction.

  4. 04

    Fail-closed handling

    Missing, inconsistent, or unresolved official data produces a verification warning or review-required outcome. The app does not fill gaps with an assumed clearance.

03 · Verification

Tested as a decision system, not a collection of pages.

The published release is checked across search, regulatory branching, record evidence, transaction state, and final outcomes.

  • 1,492 automated tests passed for the release candidate.

  • 895,230 provision-and-country combinations are checked for stable EAR decision behavior.

  • Every full provision in the generated CCL index is tested to return itself first in search.

  • Known edge cases, branching questions, evidence mapping, saved-case behavior, and list-specific outcomes have dedicated regression tests.

  • Current-source audits reconcile each supported list family and preserve identified official-data conflicts as explicit warnings.

04 · Clear boundaries

Comprehensive preliminary review is not export authorization.

  • Official lists and regulations can change; verify the current controlling source before acting.
  • A name screen does not independently resolve ownership, including OFAC’s 50 Percent Rule.
  • Users must still confirm classification, jurisdiction, end use, end user, every transaction party, license or exception eligibility, and recordkeeping obligations.
  • ExportCheck records the facts supplied and the rule applied. It does not replace qualified legal or export-compliance judgment.

05 · Daily source control

Official sources are monitored every day.

Party lists, EAR and CCL sources, ITAR, sanctions actions, and Federal Register feeds are checked for changes. Non-substantive updates are handled automatically; changes that could affect a result are held for administrator review and testing.
