Consolidated machine-readable list of parties subject to US sanctions restrictions other than full SDN blocking.
TL;DR:
- Consolidated machine-readable list of parties subject to US sanctions restrictions other than full SDN blocking.
- Screen for programme-specific restrictions and apply the restriction attached to each list entry.
- Retain screening evidence and report blocked or rejected property where required.
Summary
The consolidated non-SDN data combines several OFAC lists whose restrictions differ from full blocking sanctions. An entry's list and programme determine what conduct is prohibited, restricted or subject to additional conditions. The presence of a name in these datasets should not automatically be interpreted as requiring all of its assets to be frozen.
Some restrictions address specified financing, correspondent or payable-through accounts, investment or other defined activities. Operational screening must retain the original list attribution and identifiers so a match can be evaluated against the correct legal rule. Combining all sanctions data into a single binary blocked/not-blocked field loses information that can change the required response.
The practical workflow is to resolve identity, identify the governing restriction, assess the proposed activity and jurisdictional nexus, and document any licence or exception relied on. The non-SDN list supplements rather than replaces the SDN List, ownership analysis and broader programme-specific sanctions review.
