Hidden Risk, Real Consequences. Export Controls and Sanctions Compliance for Korean Organizations.
U.S. regulators — BIS, OFAC, and CBP — are intensifying scrutiny of Korean exporters, manufacturers, banks, and logistics companies. One undisclosed affiliate, one layered ownership structure, one misrouted shipment can mean civil or criminal liability. Sayari takes a candid look at how U.S. enforcement is evolving and how graph-based corporate and trade intelligence finds what list screening misses — before regulators do.

U.S. enforcement has moved past lists. Korean compliance programs need ownership-grade visibility across counterparty networks.
With BIS tightening export controls and the “50% Affiliates Rule” on the horizon, no Korean organization engaged in global trade can assume it is out of scope. Beyond traditionally sensitive sectors like semiconductors and defense, manufacturers of industrial goods, components, and equipment — as well as trade finance banks and international logistics providers — may unknowingly be entangled in high-risk transaction networks routed through Southeast Asia, Central Asia, or the Middle East.
Conventional sanctions list screening was not built for this level of complexity. It cannot detect shell companies, layered beneficial ownership, or diversion risk hidden within multi-tier supply chains.
One undisclosed affiliate. One layered ownership structure. One misrouted shipment. Each can mean civil or criminal liability that shuts down a Korean export program overnight.
BIS 50% Affiliates Rule
Extends Entity List, MEU List, and certain Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List restrictions to any company majority-owned (directly, indirectly, or in aggregate) by a listed entity. Currently set to enter into force November 10, 2026.
Transshipment & Diversion Enforcement
BIS is actively scrutinizing Korean exporters for indirect diversions to Russia and China via third countries like Turkey, the UAE, and Central Asia. Demonstrated ownership-based due diligence is now the standard.
Hidden Networks & Diversion Risk
Sanctioned ultimate beneficial owners can sit behind a clean-looking corporate front. List-only screening leaves Korean banks, manufacturers, and logistics providers exposed to networks they cannot see.
Five working takeaways for Korean compliance, legal, and risk teams
A practitioner-focused session for Korean organizations preparing for the next era of U.S. export control and sanctions enforcement. Here’s what we will cover on June 17th:
Why BIS’s “50% Affiliates Rule” expands liability beyond your direct counterparties
How aggregate ownership thresholds reach into Korean supply chains and counterparty networks — and what the November 10 snapback means for live trade programs.
How diversion through Southeast Asia, Central Asia, and the UAE is being enforced
BIS’s evolving enforcement posture against indirect exports to Russia and China, with Korea-relevant examples of the trade-flow patterns regulators are flagging.
Why list-only screening leaves critical gaps in ownership and trade networks
Where shell companies, layered beneficial ownership, and complex structures slip through traditional Dow Jones, LexisNexis, and similar list-based screening tools.
How Sayari’s graph analysis and Agentic AI enable faster, more accurate screening
A live demonstration across three scenarios: trade-flow and diversion risk detection, a “clean” counterparty’s hidden sanctions network, and shell company identification.
Built for Korean trade, legal, compliance, and risk teams
- Trade Compliance, Legal, and Export Control teams at Korean manufacturers and chaebols
- Compliance and Financial Crime teams at trade finance banks and financial institutions
- Risk, Procurement, and TPRM leaders at companies with U.S.-origin technology or global trade exposure
- Semiconductor, defense, electronics, and industrial-goods exporters subject to EAR controls
- International logistics, shipping, and freight forwarding companies
- In-house counsel responsible for sanctions, export controls, and supply chain compliance
A focused, practitioner-led 45 minutes
Delivered in Korean with Korean captions. The technical demo runs in English with Korean captions so on-the-screen detail stays sharp.
Webinar introduction and the Korea regulatory context
Introducing Sayari as the global corporate and trade data graph platform — and why Korean organizations are in BIS, OFAC, and CBP’s focus now.
U.S. export controls, sanctions trends, and global risk networks
