3 Pillars of Compliance
Intelligent Trade Compliance Engine
Our system combines current source-data checks with regulatory intelligence to provide a unified risk assessment across three core pillars.
360° Business Partner Screening (KYB/KYC)
Ensure you know exactly who you are doing business with through comprehensive screening.
- Global Sanctions & Watchlist Screening (EU, US OFAC, UN, UK, Asia)
- False Positive Reduction with cross-referencing
- Corporate Identity Verification & Entity Resolution
- UBO & Structure Analysis (Ultimate Beneficial Owners)
- Risk & Reputation Profiling (Adverse Media, PEP Detection)
Product & Transaction Compliance
Determine if your goods can be shipped, where, and what licenses are needed.
- Multi-Jurisdictional Export Classification (EU Dual-Use, EU ML, national lists, ECCN, ITAR, CN)
- Dynamic Destination & Embargo Checks
- Granular Rule Checking (Luxury bans, Tech transfer)
- License Determination & Authorization Flags
- Intelligent Re-export Checks (US, EU, CN origin logic)
Advanced Risk Assessment
Move beyond simple 'Pass/Fail' to intelligent decision support with unified scoring.
- 'Catch-All' Risk Analysis (WMD, Military end-use)
- Cyber-surveillance & human rights violation risks
- Unified Risk Scoring (1-5) with Management Summary
- Strategic Risk Exposure investigation
- Audit-Ready Documentation generation
Intelligently Applied Checks
We take into account origin country, shipping country, and destination country, together with embargo and trade-agreement indicators. The workflow can also trigger US, EU, or CN re-export checks to broaden the review beyond direct export rules.

How it works
Jurisdictions are resolved automatically based on the country of dispatch.
- Shipment from Germany → checks: DE + EU + WTO + UN
- Shipment from France → checks: FR + EU + WTO + UN
- Shipment from USA → checks: US + WTO + UN
A shipment from France is automatically checked against the EU Dual-Use Regulation and the EU Common Military List, even without a country-specific French list.
Yes, our solution checks not only ECCN and ITAR (USA), but also:
- EU Dual-Use numbers (Regulation 2021/821, Annex I)
- EU munitions list numbers (ML1-ML22, Common Military List)
- National export list numbers (e.g. German AL Part I B: 5A902, 5D902, 5E902, 0023)

Frequently Asked Questions
Our AI analyzes product descriptions, technical specifications, and performance parameters to identify goods and technologies that could have both civilian and military applications. It cross-references against EU Dual-Use, national export lists, and US Commerce Control Lists and applies machine learning to detect potential dual-use characteristics.
Supported sources include major official lists such as OFAC SDN, the BIS Entity List, the EU Consolidated List, and UN Security Council sanctions. The interface should show which sources and data versions were used for a screening.
The system analyzes technical parameters against Commerce Control List criteria and provides possible ECCN suggestions, confidence information, and reasoning. Human review is recommended, and EU or national classifications must be assessed separately.
The system can flag possible authorization requirements based on the supplied classification, destination, end-user, and intended use. A final determination requires verification against current rules and may require an authority or export-control expert.
Our comprehensive JSON API provides all export control analysis data in structured format, including dual-use classification, sanctions screening results, license requirements, and risk assessments. Perfect for automating compliance workflows and system integration.
The AI identifies potential red flags and suspicious patterns in export transactions, including unusual shipping routes, inconsistent end-user information, cash payment patterns, and other indicators that may suggest export control violations or evasion attempts.
