    16 June 2004, revised 2 May 2005. The U.S. Treasury Department, Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) publishes this list of individuals and companies controlled by targeted countries. The list includes "individuals, groups, and entities, such as terrorists and narcotics traffickers designated under programs that are not country-specific. Collectively, such individuals and companies are called 'Specially Designated Nationals' or 'SDNs.' Their assets are blocked and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from dealing with them."
  • List of Parties Debarred for Arms Export Control Act Convictions

    21 June 2004. The Directorate of Defense Trade Controls of the U.S. Department of State provides two lists--one statutory and one administrative--of companies and individuals convicted of violations involving the Arms Export Control Act (AECA) or the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Both lists are alphabetical and include a Federal Register citation, although not a link to the relevant issue. (et)
  • Entity List

    16 June 2004, revised 2 May 2005. The U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) maintains this list of foreign individuals and companies, which "have been determined to present an unacceptable risk of diversion to developing weapons of mass destruction or the missiles used to deliver those weapons." Changes to the list appear officially in the Federal Register.

The following lists may be relevant to your export or re-export transaction.

Denied Persons List
A list of individuals and entities that have been denied export privileges. Any dealings with a party on this list that would violate the terms of its denial order is prohibited.

Unverified List
A list of parties where BIS has been unable to verify the end use in prior transactions. The presence of a party on this list in a transaction is a “red flag” that should be resolved before proceeding with the transaction.

Debarred List
A list compiled by the State Department of parties who are barred by §127.7 of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) (22 CFR §127.7) from participating directly or indirectly in the export of defense articles, including technical data or in the furnishing of defense services for which a license or approval is required by the ITAR.

Nonproliferation Sanctions
Several lists compiled by the State Department of parties that have been sanctioned under various statutes. The Federal Register notice imposing sanctions on a party states the sanctions that apply to that party. Some of these sanctioned parties are subject to BIS’s license application denial policy described in §744.19 of the EAR (15 CFR §744.19).
