How do I check if a supplier is on the UFLPA Entity List?

The free supplier check matches the company name and its known parent against the DHS/FLETF UFLPA Entity List plus CBP's forced-labor withhold-release orders, and shows which specific list produced any match, cited and dated to the snapshot it ran against. A name match is a reason to verify before you pay, not a finding of wrongdoing — the report says the name resembles a listed entity and what to check next.

What does the supplier check look at?

Two independent checks, never blended into one score: forced labor (the UFLPA Entity List plus CBP withhold-release orders) and federal sanctions (OFAC's SDN and Consolidated lists plus the U.S. Consolidated Screening List, which includes the Commerce/BIS Entity List). Every finding is cited to its government source and stamped with the date it ran against. It asks for the supplier, not the product: whether the product needs a safety certificate is a separate, free check.

How much does it cost to screen a supplier?

The answer is free: for each list, whether the supplier matched, with the list's size and date. The record is $29, one-time, with no subscription: the registered company, a citation and date for every result, the PDF and a link re-sent by email whenever it expires, for a customs broker, an attorney or a marketplace to rely on. It is background diligence, not legal or customs advice.

Can I just screenshot the free answer?

For deciding for yourself, yes. Nobody else can rely on a screenshot: it cannot be verified, it does not name the registered company, it has no dated list edition behind each result, it cites nothing, and it cannot be filed or produced months later. The record has an ID and a code anyone can check at /verify.

Is a name match proof my supplier uses forced labor?

No. A match on a government list means the name you typed resembles a listed entity — it is a reason to verify before you pay, not an accusation. The report shows which list matched, how close the match is, and what to confirm (a registration number or address) before drawing any conclusion. It never claims a company is or isn't guilty.

Do the lists change? How often should I re-screen?

Yes — the UFLPA Entity List added 37 companies in January 2025 and 43 more in 2026, its largest-ever single expansion, to 187 listed entities. A supplier who's clear today may not be next quarter, so re-screen before you reorder. Each report is stamped with the snapshot date behind every check.
