The OFAC Consolidated Sanctions List (non-SDN lists): what it is and how to screen against it
The consolidated non-SDN list is OFAC's single download of every sanctions list that is not the SDN list — SSI, FSE, NS-PLC, CAPTA, NS-MBS and NS-CMIC — published as cons_prim.csv, consolidated.xml and cons_advanced.xml. CompliAPI ingests it every 15 minutes together with the SDN list, screens its names and identifiers, and names ofac_consolidated on every match.

About this list
Not everything OFAC sanctions goes on the SDN list. The Consolidated Sanctions List is OFAC's single publication of its non-SDN sanctions lists — designations that restrict specific dealings rather than blocking a party outright. As of September 2026, OFAC's "Additional Sanctions Lists" page names six lists inside it: the Sectoral Sanctions Identifications (SSI) list — persons operating in sectors of the Russian economy under Executive Order 13662, restricted in new debt and equity; the Foreign Sanctions Evaders (FSE) list — foreign individuals and entities determined to have violated, attempted to violate, conspired to violate or caused a violation of US sanctions on Iran or Syria, with whom US persons are generally prohibited from transacting; the Non-SDN Palestinian Legislative Council (NS-PLC) list — transactions with listed members may be rejected; the List of Foreign Financial Institutions Subject to Correspondent Account or Payable-Through Account Sanctions (CAPTA); the Non-SDN Menu-Based Sanctions (NS-MBS) list — less-than-full-blocking measures selected from a statutory menu; and the Non-SDN Chinese Military-Industrial Complex Companies (NS-CMIC) list — a prohibition on US persons purchasing or selling the listed companies' publicly traded securities and derivatives of them.
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.
OFAC publishes the Consolidated Sanctions List in the same three editions as the SDN list: cons_prim.csv with its companion cons_add.csv and cons_alt.csv (there is no consolidated.csv — the CSV edition is the cons_ file set), consolidated.xml, and cons_advanced.xml in the Advanced Sanctions Data Model schema it shares with sdn_advanced.xml. All of them download from the Sanctions List Service at sanctionslistservice.ofac.treas.gov, and the legacy treasury.gov/ofac/downloads/consolidated/ paths redirect there — every URL and schema is on our export-files guide, verified against the live files in August and September 2026.
OFAC announces changes to the SDN and Consolidated lists 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.
What is the NS-CMIC list?
The Non-SDN Chinese Military-Industrial Complex Companies List, one of the lists OFAC publishes inside the Consolidated Sanctions List. It identifies companies subject to the securities-related sanctions of Executive Order 14032 (June 2021): US persons may not purchase or sell the listed companies' publicly traded securities, or derivatives of them. It is not a blocking list — the companies' assets are not frozen. CompliAPI matches NS-CMIC identifiers under the ofac_consolidated list slug, so a hit tells you the restriction is a securities prohibition, not an SDN designation.
Are all individuals on the FSE list on the SDN List?
No. The Foreign Sanctions Evaders (FSE) list is a non-SDN list published inside the Consolidated Sanctions List; being on it means US persons are generally prohibited from transacting with the party, but the party's assets are not blocked. A party appears on both the FSE and SDN lists only if OFAC has separately designated it under each authority. OFAC's Sanctions List Search covers both lists at once, and a CompliAPI match names which list produced it.
