Frequently Asked Questions

Where does this data come from?
Straight from the US Treasury OFAC. The actor downloads the official bulk SDN and Consolidated list files that OFAC publishes for everyone, then parses them into structured records. It does not add, guess or alter any data, so the output mirrors the authoritative source.

What is the difference between the SDN and Consolidated lists?
The SDN list holds the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons, more than 19,000 parties whose assets are blocked. The Consolidated list holds the other OFAC sanctions lists that are not part of the SDN list. Choose one with the List option, or pick Both to load them together, and each record is tagged SDN or CONS so you always know its source.

Can I search for a specific person or company?
Yes. Use the Name search field to keep only parties whose primary name or any alias contains your text, for example a surname or company name. You can combine it with the party type and program filters, or leave it empty to export the whole list.

Can I filter by sanctions program?
Yes. Add one or more program codes such as CUBA, SDGT, IRAN or UKRAINE-EO13662 to the Sanctions programs field and the actor keeps only parties listed under any of them. You can also restrict results to individuals, entities, vessels or aircraft with the Party type filter.

What happens when a field has no value?
Fields that do not apply are returned as null or an empty list and are never invented. Individual-only fields such as dates of birth are empty for entities, and vessel details are present only for vessels and aircraft, so each record carries exactly what OFAC publishes for that party.
