About Prohibited Parties

NTIS is pleased to provide the "Prohibited Parties Database" as an added feature to the existing EAR Database service at no additional cost. This new feature allows you to screen your export order prior to shipment against five government lists of prohibited parties with just a single keyword search. These lists are:

1. Debarred Parties - Parties denied export privileges under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) as administered by the Office of Defense Trade Control (DTC).
2. Denied Persons List - Parties denied export privileges as administered by the Bureau of Industry and Security. The list may be found in the Export Administration Regulations, 15 CFR Part 764 Supplement No. 2.
3. Entity List - Entities subject to license requirements because of their proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. The list may be found in the Export Administration Regulations, 15 CFR Part 774 Supplement No. 4.
4. Specially Designated Nationals, Terrorists, Narcotics Traffickers, Blocked Persons and Vessels - Parties subject to various economic sanctioned programs administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).
5. Unverified List - Unverified Parties List - Parties to past export transactions where pre-license checks or post-shipment verifications could not be conducted, and persons in foreign countries in transactions where BIS is not able to verify the existence or authenticity of all parties to the transaction, requiring heightened scrutiny by the exporter as set out in 15 CFR Part 732 Supplement No. 3.
6. General Order 3 to Part 736 - This general order imposes a license requirement for exports and reexports of all items subject to the EAR where the transaction involves Mayrow General Trading or related entities located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. This order also prohibits the use of License Exceptions for exports or reexports of any items subject to the EAR involving these entities.
