Coverage and methodology
Built for disciplined, evidence-based preliminary screening.
Export Control Studio 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.
State
2 source groupsAECA / ITAR Debarred · Nonproliferation Sanctions
Treasury
6 source groupsSDN · SSI · CMIC · Non-SDN Menu-Based Sanctions · Palestinian Legislative Council · CAPTA
02 · Decision method
The app explains the restriction—not only the name match.
- 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.
- 02
List-specific logic
Export Control Studio 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.
- 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.
- 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 across the whole workflow, not page by page.
The published release is checked across search, regulatory branching, record evidence, transaction state, and final outcomes.
Automated regression tests exercise EAR provision-and-country behavior, party-list outcomes, exception branching, and saved-review state. Counts are not presented without a release-specific test record.
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
A 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.
- Export Control Studio records the facts supplied and the rule applied. It does not replace qualified legal or export-compliance judgment.
05 · Source monitoring
Source checks and review status.
Published checks compare party lists, EAR and CCL sources, ITAR, sanctions actions, and Federal Register feeds for changes. Non-substantive updates can be handled automatically; changes that could affect a result are held for administrator review and testing. The check date below identifies the published snapshot, rather than a live verification of every source.
Last published source check: Nov 13, 2026. 0 previously identified party-feed discrepancies remain open pending reviewed disposition. Exact-record safeguards do not make the whole feed current; verify the controlling official record before relying on a result.
Official sources last checked November 13, 2026, 9:53 AM EST. A source check does not clear this transaction.
