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 Cisco; a US-domiciled public company will not normally appear, but the official lookup is the only authoritative way to confirm.

BIS Consolidated Screening List (search this name) → — US Department of Commerce — International Trade Administration
BIS Entity List (full official list, 15 CFR 744 Supp. 4) → — US Department of Commerce — Bureau of Industry and Security
BIS Denied Persons List (active denial orders) → — US Department of Commerce — Bureau of Industry and Security
BIS Unverified List (parties pending end-use verification) → — US Department of Commerce — Bureau of Industry and Security
OFAC Sanctions Search (re-verify SDN status) → — US Treasury — Office of Foreign Assets Control

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.
