Denied Party Screening Essentials • Screen at the beginning and end of the order/shipping process • Ideally, at quote stage, then at the time of shipment • Be wary of “close matches” Investigate thoroughly • Any doubts should be discussed with Trade Compliance and/or the Legal Department HAVE THE RIGHT SCREENING TOOL IN PLACE!!!
Lists To Check • Denied Parties List • Entities List • Specially Designated Nationals List • Un-Verified List • Debarred List (Defense Items Only)
Screening Guidelines • Best search method is “Name” “Contains” (Company Name) • If a hit list comes out, screen for a match • If a list doesn’t come out, hit “Search for Closest Matches” • Screen for a match • If a match or close match appears, contact Trade Compliance/Legal • HOLD THE SHIPMENT UNTIL ISSUES ARE RESOLVED!!! • In either case of a match or no match, print out results sheet and place in the customer order file.
Web Based Screening Guidelines • Using the customer name, perform a Yahoo or Google search on the internet • Locate the customer’s home page • Read the “About” section off the homepage. This will give you a high level look at the company and it’s products • As a secondary screen read about the products offered in the “products” section • Look for anything related to chemical, biological, missile tech, nuclear or military applications • Also look for types of customers (i.e. government, defense, educational) • If found, contact Trade Compliance to investigate further • If product offering appears clean, print a copy of the “About” or other relevant part of the website and place in the customer order file • If no website is available, this is a RED FLAG.
