US BIS Denied Persons List

The US Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) publishes the Denied Persons List to identify individuals and organizations that have been denied export privileges. These restrictions are part of the US export control system and are intended to prevent unlawful or high-risk trade activity.

This dataset is especially important for exporters, manufacturers, logistics providers, and financial institutions supporting cross-border trade. It helps organizations detect parties that may not receive US-origin goods, software, or technology.

• Individuals
• Companies and commercial counterparties
• Parties subject to export and re-export prohibitions

BIS denial data is often used together with OFAC sanctions and other export control lists to support a more complete trade compliance program.
