The US OFAC Consolidated (non-SDN) list
OFAC's other sanctions list: the Consolidated Sanctions List collects non-SDN designations — sectoral sanctions, menu-based sanctions and the Chinese military-industrial complex list. CompliAPI ingests it every 15 minutes, the same cadence as the SDN list.

About this list
Not everything OFAC sanctions goes on the SDN list. The Consolidated Sanctions List collects OFAC's non-SDN designations: the Sectoral Sanctions Identifications (SSI) list, the Non-SDN Menu-Based Sanctions (NS-MBS) list, the Non-SDN Chinese Military-Industrial Complex (NS-CMIC) list, Palestinian Legislative Council (NS-PLC) entries and other program-specific lists.
Non-SDN designations restrict specific dealings — certain debt and equity transactions for SSI entities, securities purchases for NS-CMIC companies — rather than blocking the party outright. Screening against them matters because the parties include major banks and energy and defense companies whose identifiers show up in ordinary counterparty data.
The list is published in the same data format as the SDN list, and OFAC announces changes to both through the same publication stream, so CompliAPI ingests the two together and reports which list produced each match.

How CompliAPI handles it
Refreshed with the SDN list
OFAC publishes SDN and Consolidated list changes through one publication feed. CompliAPI checks it every 15 minutes and downloads both lists whenever a new publication appears, so the two can never drift apart.
Same reconciliation, separate list
Consolidated entries are stored under their own list slug, ofac_consolidated. Additions, removals and re-listings are reconciled on every run, and delisted identifiers are kept with a removal date for audit history.
Distinguishable in every response
A match names ofac_consolidated as its list, so a reviewer can immediately tell a non-SDN sectoral hit from an SDN blocking designation — while the sanctioned flag is set for both, because both are OFAC sanctions lists.
Screen against this list
Every /screen endpoint checks all enabled lists by default and names the list behind each match. Add the ?lists= filter to restrict a request to this source.

}Frequently asked questions
What is OFAC's Consolidated Sanctions List?
OFAC's collection of non-SDN sanctions lists, published alongside the SDN list. It includes the Sectoral Sanctions Identifications (SSI) list, the Non-SDN Menu-Based Sanctions (NS-MBS) list, the Non-SDN Chinese Military-Industrial Complex (NS-CMIC) list and other program-specific designations.
How is the Consolidated list different from the SDN list?
SDN designations block a party entirely — US persons generally may not deal with them at all. Non-SDN designations restrict specific activities, such as certain debt, equity or securities transactions, while other dealings remain lawful. The lists are published separately and CompliAPI reports which one produced each match.
Are non-SDN matches reported as sanctioned?
Yes. The Consolidated list is an OFAC sanctions list, so a match sets sanctioned: true with list ofac_consolidated and list_type sanctions. The list slug on the match is what tells you the hit is a non-SDN restriction rather than an SDN blocking designation.
Which identifiers appear on the Consolidated list?
Mostly corporate identifiers: tax IDs, registration numbers, government gazette numbers, websites and email addresses of the listed companies. The same extraction pipeline as the SDN list runs over every record, so any identifier type OFAC adds — including digital-currency addresses — is picked up automatically.
How often does CompliAPI refresh the Consolidated list?
Every 15 minutes, together with the SDN list. OFAC announces changes to both lists through one publication feed, and a new publication triggers a fresh download and reconciliation of each.
