Compliance
Every shipment screened against sanctions lists. Automatically.
Shipping to a denied party is a federal crime. Atlas screens every consignee against OFAC, BIS, EU, UK, and UN lists before a label is bought — and logs every decision for your auditors. Free, not a paid add-on.
- OFAC + EU + UK + UN
- Blocks before label buy
- Full audit trail
Sanctions fines start at five figures. Ignorance is not a defense.
US OFAC penalties for shipping to a denied party run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars per violation — strict liability, no intent required. Most shipping tools leave screening to you, or charge extra for it. Atlas builds it in.
Compliance that runs itself
Five lists, daily sync
OFAC SDN, BIS Entity List, EU Consolidated, UK HM Treasury, and UN Security Council — re-synced every 24 hours.
Fuzzy name matching
Trigram similarity catches misspellings and transliterations, not just exact matches. Tuned thresholds reduce false positives.
Block before purchase
High-confidence matches block the label automatically. The shipment is held, never silently shipped.
Human review lane
Borderline matches (0.80–0.95 similarity) go to a review queue so a real person clears or rejects within hours.
Permanent audit log
Every screening decision — cleared or flagged — is stored forever. Export any date range as CSV for auditors.
Enforced at the API
Screening runs on partner API calls too. A denied consignee gets a clean 451 refusal before any carrier call.

What happens to a flagged shipment?+
High-confidence matches are blocked and held. Borderline matches go to a review queue cleared within 4 business hours. You can attach supporting docs to speed it up.
Can I export the audit trail?+
Yes — Dashboard → Compliance → Export gives you a CSV of every screening decision in any date range.
