If a list doesn’t come out, hit “Search for Closest Matches”
Screen for a match
If a match or close match appears, contact Trade Compliance/Legal
HOLD THE SHIPMENT UNTIL ISSUES ARE RESOLVED!!!

Using the customer name, perform a Yahoo or Google search on the
internet
Locate the customer’s home page
Read the “About” section off the homepage. This will give you a high
level look at the company and it’s products
As a secondary screen read about the products offered in the
“products” section
Look for anything related to chemical, biological, missile tech, nuclear
or military applications
Also look for types of customers (i.e. government, defense, educational)
If found, contact Trade Compliance to investigate further
If product offering appears clean, print a copy of the “About” or other
relevant part of the website and place in the customer order file
If no website is available, this is a RED FLAG. Contact Trade
Compliance
