01 Maintained source set
Separate jurisdiction and control questions
Start with the transaction facts, then open the current official source.
Export controls, sanctions, customs, investment screening and payment restrictions are separate workstreams. A classification or screening result in one jurisdiction does not answer another jurisdiction’s question.
Source routes checked 21 August 2026. Rules, thresholds, lists, procedures and guidance can change.
