Cargo sanctions & TARIC screening for brokers and forwarders

Per-leg sanctions screening on primary EU sources. One HS code can sit in three sanction annexes at once, each with different conditions — and the fine, the seizure and the demurrage land on freight forwarders, not on the shipper. CargoScreen turns a TARIC code and a route into a clear verdict, with the regulation attached.

Full Pro access for 7 days. No card required.

Built on EU TARIC and EUR-Lex primary sources · updated daily.

Every route tells a different story

The same goods can be permitted to one destination and restricted to another. CargoScreen screens code + route together.

What does a CargoScreen verdict look like?

Every CargoScreen result is a single verdict — Do not ship, Review required or Clear to ship — attached to the exact regulation that produced it. The three cases below are real screenings pulled from live EU TARIC and EUR-Lex data on 17 July 2026: an export block, a wind-down import and a green intra-EU move.

How does CargoScreen screen a shipment?

You give CargoScreen a TARIC or product description and a route; it returns a per-leg verdict on export, transit and import, cites the regulation behind each decision, and freezes the answer as a dated PDF snapshot. Three steps, five seconds, and a defensible record on the day of shipment.

Step 1

Enter code and route

A TARIC, UKTZED or TN VED code — or a product description — plus origin, transit and destination.

Step 2

Get a per-leg verdict

Export from origin, every transit leg, import into destination — each checked against its own layer of rules. You see exactly where the problem is.

Step 3

Keep the proof

Every verdict comes with the source regulation and a dated PDF snapshot — what the rule said on the day of shipment.

That snapshot is your defence if customs asks months later.

Your code. Your system.

EU TARIC/CNUKTZED (Україна)ТН ВЕД (ЕАЭС)

Brokers in Riga, Kyiv and Almaty enter codes in their own classification. CargoScreen resolves the code in its national nomenclature — with native-language descriptions — and screens it against EU sanctions via the common HS6 root.

National duty rates for UKTZED/EAEU are on the roadmap; EU sanctions screening is live today.

What you can do

One tool for the whole question — goods, route and parties.

Not a code lookup. An answer to “can this deal go through?”, with the regulation attached.

Enter a code and a route — get a per-leg verdict: export, transit, import, each checked on its own.

Explore

Paste a client's email or a loose product list — the system pulls out the goods and the route and returns a verdict.

Explore

Upload an Excel or CSV as it is — CargoScreen finds the codes, checks every line, flags the problem items.

Explore

Optionally screen shipper, consignee and end-user against 13 official denied-party lists, incl. the US BIS Entity List.

Every check is saved as a snapshot on the day — proof of due diligence if customs asks months later.

Built on EU TARIC and the consolidated EUR-Lex sanctions texts — not second-hand aggregators.

Explore

Add codes to a watchlist and get an email when a measure or sanction on them changes — you hear about the new package before your client does.

Explore

Answer a short questionnaire about the item — or let CargoScreen pre-fill it from a datasheet — to see whether it falls under a control entry.

Explore

Routes through Great Britain are screened under the UK Russia and Belarus sanctions regimes, with links to legislation.gov.uk — not only the EU picture.

Why not the tools you already use?

Tariff portals, consultants and spreadsheets each solve one piece of the question and leave you to reconcile the rest. CargoScreen turns TARIC data, sanctions annexes and dual-use lists into one verdict — faster than a customs lawyer, current with the latest sanctions package and cheaper than a stale internal spreadsheet.

A tariff browser

National TARIC portals show you measures — but no verdict, and they don't know sanctions annexes. You still read three regulations yourself.

A consultant

An hour of a customs lawyer costs €150–300 and takes days. A screening takes five seconds and cites the same primary sources.

A spreadsheet

Your compliance list goes stale the day the next sanctions package lands. Ours updates daily and re-issues on every package.

Where does CargoScreen's data come from?

CargoScreen reads directly from the EU TARIC distribution and the consolidated EUR-Lex sanctions texts — the same primary sources a customs authority uses. 785,867 measures across 34,075 codes are refreshed every day, and every verdict on the site is footnoted to the exact regulation, not a second-hand aggregator.

Pulled every day from the official EU distribution — never a stale verdict on the day of shipment.

Every verdict cites its source

No verdict without the regulation behind it.

Audit trail on every check

Each screening stored as a dated snapshot.

Current EU sanctions packages included. When a new package lands, our annexes are re-issued — not patched by hand.

The verdict, frozen on the day you shipped.

Customs can question a consignment months after it moved. CargoScreen records every screening as a dated snapshot: the code, the route, the verdict and the exact rule that applied that day. When the question comes, you show the record — not your memory.

A defensible audit trail no manual process gives you.

An hour of a customs lawyer is €150–300. One seized consignment is tens of thousands. Seven days of Pro cost nothing and need no card.

Straight answers.

No. CargoScreen is an informational tool and does not replace a qualified customs or sanctions professional.

EU TARIC via the official daily distribution, and sanctions annexes from the consolidated EUR-Lex texts of Regulations 833/2014 and 765/2006, plus the Common High Priority List. Updated daily.

CargoScreen covers EU TARIC/CN, Ukrainian UKTZED and EAEU TN VED (RU·BY·KZ·KG·AM) commodity codes — enter your code in your own system — and UK goods sanctions on Great Britain legs (UK Russia & Belarus Sanctions Regulations).

Only when a restriction is specific to a transit leg and the goods are legal end to end. For prohibited goods, never.

No.
