What you get
Look at a record first; a real one, with the client name replaced and the counterparties
that are not on a list renamed. The listed parties in it are real and
public. It is the whole document, not a sample page.
A record of what changed the point of it
Each round is compared with the previous one, and the
document opens with the difference: which counterparty is now
on a list that was not before, and which has been delisted. If nothing
changed, it says so; dated. That sentence is worth having too: it
is what you show when someone asks whether you were watching.
Method: every name is rescreened in full against
the current list versions; the comparison is against the stored result of
the previous round, not against a cached answer. Checked: 4 September 2026.
A dated document, not a dashboard
Reference number, timestamp, all the lists with their
version and the number of parties and spellings in each, then the findings
per counterparty with the ground each listing rests on. Print it, file it,
attach it. Near matches get their own section with an empty assessment box; that judgement is yours to make and to sign.
Lists: EU (DG FISMA), EU Regulation 833/2014,
UN Security Council, OFAC (US), UK (FCDO), Switzerland (SECO), Canada,
Australia (DFAT) and Ukraine (NSDC); the same ten behind the free tool. Checked: 4 September 2026.
The finding a name search misses ownership
A counterparty can be on no list at all and still be
caught, because it is owned or controlled by a party that is
listed. Searching its name returns nothing. The record has a separate
section for this: linked to a listed party, naming the
relationship and the listed entity behind it. On a test run of twenty
names, five had such a link and one of those had no hit of its own; it would have passed a name check unnoticed.

(ownership and control). We report the link; establishing the actual
percentage is yours.
Checked: 4 September 2026.
What it never says read this one
“Clean”, or “not sanctioned”.
No name gets that, ever. A name without a hit is recorded as
no match on these lists on this date, which is a different
statement. Lists outside the ten are outside scope, a link we report is
not proof of the 50 percent threshold being met, and a screening says
nothing about the day after.

Getting it
One name, or a handful? Do it yourself: create an account, put the
counterparties on your watchlist, and every list update re-screens them.
The first name is free; each slot after that is €9 per name per month,
ex VAT. No call, no setup.
Start your watchlist
See a record first
Inside your own system instead of by hand? The same screening is a
keyed API (€49 per month for 500 checks,
€199 for 5,000), and as an embed widget under your
own name on your own website (€149 per month + one-time setup) --
both ordered from the same account page.
A whole portfolio, reseller terms or a question first: write to
bart@importrules.com with the
number of counterparties. You get a number the same day.
