TRADE & SUPPLY CHAIN RISK
Verify suppliers, freight partners, and foreign ownership before goods move or funds settle.
Global manufacturers, freight forwarders, and logistics operators navigate complex networks of overseas suppliers, trading houses, and carriers. Hidden sanctioned entities, transshipment intermediaries, and invoice diversion schemes expose trade operations to customs seizures and severe regulatory fines. Diliguard delivers instant corporate unwrapping and live sanctions screening to keep global trade lanes clear.
Static vendor questionnaires leave trade operations blind to hidden sanctions
Trade compliance requirements like the OFAC 50% Rule mean that an unlisted foreign trading house or intermediary is legally sanctioned if owned or controlled by designated persons. Relying on annual supplier self-declarations fails to catch ownership changes or front entities operating in transshipment hubs.
Furthermore, global logistics operations face relentless invoice fraud and payment redirection schemes targeting freight settlement accounts. Diliguard automates corporate UBO resolution across 16+ jurisdictions and screens counterparties against 140+ live watchlists to secure trade commitments.

The Transshipment Sanctions Evasion Scheme
A global electronics distributor received an urgent order for €8M in industrial components from a newly formed trading firm in a Mediterranean free-trade zone, with requests to deliver via a secondary logistics corridor.
Trade compliance officers enter the buyer, intermediary trader, and consignee details into Diliguard.
The corporate engine unwinds offshore holding layers, revealing the trading firm is 65% controlled by a designated entity.
IP intelligence shows buyer purchase orders originated from infrastructure within a strictly embargoed territory.
The distributor cancels the shipment immediately, preventing severe export-control violations and cargo forfeiture.
