Definition & Explanation

Sanctions hit rate measures how reliably a compliance screening system identifies sanctioned parties, goods, or transactions in supply chain controls. It is calculated as the share of correctly flagged sanctions cases divided by the total number of screened items. Freight forwarders and customs brokers use this metric to assess screening quality and reduce compliance exposure – a high rate indicates precise filtering, while a low rate suggests misclassification or incomplete data sources. It differs from the false positive rate, which tracks false alarms.
