Verify a European buyer
before you ship.
Sanctions screening against OFAC SDN, UK OFSI, the UN Security Council and the EU consolidated lists. VAT-number validation against the European VIES register. Beneficial-owner screening. Credit-risk signal where the buyer publishes accounts.
A European buyer with a sanctioned beneficial owner or an invalid VAT number can sit on a shipment in the bonded warehouse for weeks while the customs broker waits for clearance. The verification is cheap; the delay is not.

No payment to submit. We rate-limit to keep the platform open without scraping.

We screen against four authoritative lists.
OFAC SDN, UK OFSI, the UN Security Council and the EU consolidated lists. Safe-by-design — the engine returns "no match" or "match", never "clear".

We validate the VAT number against VIES.
Live check against the EU VAT Information Exchange System. Mismatches flagged, with the canonical address on file when the registry returns one.
- № 04
We surface beneficial-owner and credit signals.
Where the buyer publishes accounts. Credit signal is indicative — useful for prioritising follow-up, not a replacement for a credit insurer.
