A screening hit is not self-explaining. Being on the SDN List blocks property; being on the Entity List imposes an export licence requirement; being on a UN list obliges member states to legislate. Reading which list produced a hit is the whole exercise.
- The BIS Entity List A US export control list of parties subject to specific licence requirements, published as Supplement No. 4 to Part 744 of the Export Administration Regulations.
