📊 Data Sources & Coverage

Our database aggregates sanctions and export control data from major regulatory authorities worldwide. Data is synchronized when there are major updates from official sources. Please check the last update timestamp on the screening page for data currency. The table below outlines our current coverage:

💡 Recommendation: For comprehensive screening, we recommend using the Global Sanctions Database which supports both English and Chinese searches, includes identity verification data (passport, tax ID, etc.), and covers multiple jurisdictions. The US CSL API provides real-time access to US lists only.

ℹ️ About US CSL API: When you select "US CSL API" mode, your query is sent directly to the official Trade.gov API in real-time. This provides the most up-to-date US sanctions data but is limited to English queries and US lists only. For multi-jurisdiction or Chinese-language searches, use the Global Database.

💡 Search Tips for Best Results

  • Use complete legal names when possible — "Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd." yields better results than "huawei"
  • Try both English and Chinese names for entities with dual-language listings
  • Check alias matches — entities may be listed under multiple names or transliterations
  • Filter by jurisdiction to narrow results and improve search speed
  • Review match confidence scores — 100% indicates exact match; lower scores require additional verification
  • Use official sources for verification — our results are for reference; always confirm with authoritative databases

D1 Search queries our internal database containing multi-jurisdictional data (US, EU, UK, CN, UN), supports Chinese names, and provides enriched metadata. Best for comprehensive searches.

CSL API directly queries the US Consolidated Screening List. Faster for US-only searches but limited to US data without Chinese translations.
