Logistics & trade compliance
Screen every party before you move freight.
Logistics teams transact with carriers, brokers, vendors, customers, and payment recipients — any of which can be sanctioned or owned by sanctioned parties. Verifex screens them against sanctions, PEP, and watchlist sources and keeps an audit-ready record of each check.

What it does
- Screens companies and people against sanctions, PEP, watchlist, and debarment sources.
- Covers carriers, brokers, vendors, customers, and payment recipients.
- Adds ownership (UBO) context to catch indirect sanctions exposure.
- Records each check as retrievable evidence with a request ID.
What it does not do
- Does not classify goods, screen HS codes, or provide export-licensing determinations.
- Does not certify a counterparty as cleared for trade.
- Does not provide legal or compliance advice.
Use the dashboard first. Integrate the API when ready.
Screen a carrier, broker, vendor, or recipient by name in the dashboard and export the record for your trade-compliance file.
Screen counterparties via the REST API at onboarding or before payment, and store request IDs against your records. SDKs for Python, Node.js, Go, and Rust.

Frequently asked questions
Who should logistics teams screen?
Carriers, brokers, freight agents, consignees, vendors, customers, and payment recipients — anyone you transact with — plus, where relevant, their beneficial owners under the OFAC 50% rule.
Does Verifex handle export control classification?
No. Verifex screens parties against sanctions, PEP, and watchlist sources. It does not classify goods or provide export-licensing decisions; pair it with your trade-compliance process.
Can we screen before releasing a payment?
Yes. Many teams screen payment recipients via the API as a pre-payment check and store the request ID against the transaction.
Does a clear result mean the party is safe to use?
No. A clear result means no match was found in screened sources at screening time. Verifex provides screening infrastructure and data-derived results, not legal or compliance advice.
