SAP Global Trade Services (SAP GTS) Sanctioned Party List ScreeningMay 17, 2023 — Many companies believe they can skip screening their sales and purchase orders against sanctioned party lists when dealing with foreign entities. Some argue that they either know their business partners or don't want to invest in a systematic screening process.

However, these companies often face fines when they realize they have shipped to prohibited entities. As of 2020, violating the Trading with the Enemy Act results in fines of $90,000 per violation, while violating the International Emergency Economic Powers Act carries a fine of approximately $308,000 per violation.
