Sanctions Compliance

Definition

The process of ensuring that a shipment does not violate economic sanctions, trade embargoes, or restricted party lists maintained by governments and international organizations. Key sanctions lists include OFAC (US), EU Consolidated List, and UN Security Council sanctions. In time-critical logistics, sanctions compliance screening is mandatory before any shipment is dispatched — screening the shipper, consignee, end-user, and all parties against applicable restricted party lists. FlashGL performs automated sanctions screening on every booking as part of the compliance workflow.
