How accurate is this OFAC Cuba sanctions check?

This tool uses fuzzy matching against the OFAC SDN list filtered for the CUBA program. It surfaces likely matches but does not perform full ownership-chain analysis (the OFAC 50% Rule), nor does it check the State Department's Cuba Restricted List (CRL) or Cuba Prohibited Accommodations List (CPAL) — both of which prohibit transactions even for entities NOT on the SDN. Always verify with the official OFAC source and consider qualified sanctions counsel for high-stakes counterparties.

What data is checked?

All 77 entries on the OFAC consolidated SDN list designated under the CUBA program (administered under the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 CFR Part 515), refreshed twice daily. The tool searches names, aliases, IMO numbers, aircraft tail numbers, Cuban identity documents, and SDN remarks fields. For Cuba Restricted List and CPAL exposure (separate State-Department lists not on the SDN), see the per-company exposure pages.

Yes. The OFAC Cuba sanctions exposure checker is completely free to use, with no registration required.

Important: Fuzzy match against our cached snapshot of the Cuba-program OFAC SDN list, refreshed twice daily from treasury.gov. This tool does NOT run the OFAC 50% Rule ownership chain or check the State Department CRL / CPAL. Sector tags are heuristic groupings to aid browsing — the official designation is the SDN entry itself. Not a substitute for vetted commercial screening or sanctions counsel on high-stakes counterparties. Retain documentation per §515.601 (5-year recordkeeping).
