The UK Sanctions List has been the sole official source for UK sanctions designations since 28 January 2026. The OFSI Consolidated List is no longer updated. The US Consolidated Screening List includes OFAC SDN, BIS Entity List and other sources. DHS publishes the UFLPA Entity List; names and aliases are extracted from its HTML tables.

Frequency and matching
Cambridge China Bridge downloads and re-screens every Tuesday at 06:00 UTC, with manual runs available. The freshness check fails after 45 days. The date above records the last successful screening; failed runs do not refresh it. Anonymised profiles are screened only when a private identity mapping is available; otherwise they have no notice and are excluded from screened counts.
We compare English legal names, English display names and published Chinese legal names against list names and aliases. We normalise case, punctuation and corporate suffixes, retaining full Chinese names alongside variants without recognised city prefixes. Identical normalised names are matches. Non-empty distinctive token sets with Jaccard overlap of at least 0.8 are possible matches, after removing generic industry words and common geographic words. Generic-only names do not establish a match. Both levels go to human review, and the profile shows no screening notice while it is under review. If the review confirms it is the same company, the profile stays up and names the list, with a link to the official list; if not, it is treated as clear.
Limits and buyer due diligence
This is an automated name check, not a legal clearance or supplier endorsement. Similar names may belong to different companies. Missing Chinese names, transliterations, former names, aliases and city variants can cause missed or false matches. We do not check addresses, registration numbers, ownership, control or ultimate beneficial owners (UBOs). Buyers should verify the contracting entity, ownership and control, carry out supplier due diligence and check current applicable restrictions before transacting. US exports require UFLPA supply-chain tracing of raw materials, inputs and upstream suppliers; absence from the Entity List does not establish a forced-labour-free supply chain.
