Before a shipment leaves the warehouse, freight forwarders and exporters screen consignees, shippers, and commodities against the sanctions catalog—the official, continuously updated register of countries, entities, individuals, and goods subject to trade sanctions, import bans, or export controls. The most widely referenced catalogs are the EU's consolidated sanctions list, the OFAC lists maintained by the US Department of the Treasury, and the United Nations sanctions lists. Customs authorities conduct these checks as a matter of routine; a positive match can result in cargo holds, criminal referrals, and substantial financial penalties. The sanctions catalog should be distinguished from the sanctions regime, which is the broader legal framework from which the individual restrictions derive.
