About this source

OFAC Sanctions List Service (U.S. Treasury / Office of Foreign Assets Control) — sanctions screening for counterparty due diligence. OFAC publishes its sanctions lists as BULK EXPORT files (XML + CSV); there is NO server-side search API. This connector downloads the SMALL Consolidated-list exports (CONSOLIDATED.XML ~978KB, CONS_PRIM.CSV ~238KB) and parses/filters them in-process to vet an oil & gas JV partner, vendor, broker, or buyer against U.S. sanctions before contracting. Screening is EXACT/SUBSTRING and case-insensitive — NOT fuzzy — so a no-match is not a clearance; confirm high-stakes decisions against OFAC SDN Search. Covers the Consolidated (non-SDN) list, not the full SDN list. No auth.
