Which US government agencies do have a list of persons to check before exporting?

• A. BIS
• B. DDTC
• C. OFAC
• D. BIS, DDTC, and OFAC

Answer: (D)

Screening recipients against government lists is a fundamental export-control practice to prevent shipments to denied or restricted parties. Each agency maintains its own list of individuals or entities that are not eligible to receive U.S.-origin items. The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) oversees dual-use items and publishes lists such as the Denied Persons List and the Entity List that identify people and organizations blocked from export privileges or subject to license requirements. The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) maintains sanctions lists, most notably the Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list and other Blocked Persons lists, used to prohibit or limit dealings with certain persons or countries. The Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) maintains lists related to defense articles and services under ITAR, including debarred or restricted parties who may not receive ITAR items. Because each agency compiles lists of prohibited or restricted parties, all three have lists to check before exporting.
