# Screen companies against the EU sanctions list, with legal citations

> Check a company, organisation or registration number against the entities on the EU asset-freeze list. Every result carries the legal references and an audit certificate, and lists what the list does not cover, so a no-match is never read as a clearance.

Who it is for: Compliance officers and MLROs doing Wwft and AML counterparty due diligence, treasury teams checking vendors before cross-border transfers, and procurement teams checking supply chain counterparties.

## What you get

- **Exact and alias matching**: Matches company names and aliases across Latin and Cyrillic transliterations, with a match `threshold` you can set (default 0.85).
- **Full legal citations**: Council regulation number, Official Journal reference, publication date and the sanctions programme code for every match.
- **Identifiers where listed**: Corporate registration numbers, tax IDs and IMO numbers where the EU list gives them.
- **What is not covered**: Every result names the EU restrictions this list does not contain, such as sectoral restrictions, shadow-fleet vessel bans and companies owned by listed parties.
- **Audit certificate**: A database generation timestamp and file ID for your audit trail.

## How it works

1. Choose `screen_eu_sanctions` and fill in the `entity_name`, optionally with `country_iso2`.
2. Run it in Apify Console, through the API or from your AI assistant, and keep the certificate with your file.

## Use cases

- Counterparty due diligence before onboarding a new business customer.
- Checking a foreign supplier before approving a SEPA or SWIFT payment.
- Screening import and export counterparties in a supply chain.

## Pricing

- Screen Corporate Entity Against EU Financial Sanctions: $1.17

You pay per event listed above; there is no monthly fee.

## Limits

- Covers entities on the EU consolidated financial sanctions list; vessels only where the list names them as an entity with an IMO number.
- A no-match is not a clearance: sectoral restrictions and ownership by listed persons are not checked.
- Natural persons are excluded; only companies, organisations and vessels are screened.

## Questions

### Which list does it use?

The official European Commission EU Consolidated Financial Sanctions List in CFSP XML.

### What does a screening cost?

$1.17 per screening.

### Does a no-match mean the company is safe to deal with?

No. The result lists the EU restrictions this list does not contain, such as the transaction ban in Annex XIX of Regulation 833/2014, so you know what else to check.
