US trade-restriction screening (BIS / Commerce)

OFAC sanctions are one of four major US restricted-party registers a counterparty needs to be screened against. The Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) maintains three more — the Entity List, the Denied Persons List, and the Unverified List — under the Export Administration Regulations (15 CFR Part 744). All four are consolidated by the International Trade Administration into the single Consolidated Screening List. The links below deep-search each register for Baker Hughes; a US-domiciled public company will not normally appear, but the official lookup is the only authoritative way to confirm.

Methodology. This page combines four signals: (1) a hand-curated map of S&P 500 Venezuela exposure maintained by Caracas Research analysts; (2) fuzzy substring matching against every Venezuela-program OFAC SDN designation (refreshed twice daily); (3) the SEC EDGAR full-text search across the company's 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, 20-F, and 6-K filings for the past 24 months; (4) a scan of our own analyzed-news corpus and US Federal Register notices. Last refreshed 2026-04-25. This is not legal or compliance advice; always verify with primary sources and qualified sanctions counsel before transacting.
