Semiconductor supply chains are
where export controls get tested.
Advanced semiconductors, electronic components, and dual-use technology face the most rapidly evolving export control regime in decades. With Taiwan and Chinese entities at the center of geopolitical supply chain risk, semiconductor manufacturers and distributors must navigate CHIPS Act requirements, BIS controls on advanced chip technology, and restrictions on Chinese end-users and military entities. Sayari maps the ownership behind your distribution partners, end-users, and sourcing channels — so electronics companies can make defensible CHIPS Act compliance decisions and verify sanctioned Chinese entity connections at deal speed.
The exposure your current tools don’t surface.
Diversion through multi-tier distribution
Restricted semiconductors and electronic components reach sanctioned end-users through chains of distributors and resellers — none of which carry the restricted name on the face of the transaction.
Transshipment through neutral jurisdictions
Electronics bound for sanctioned end-users are routinely transshipped through intermediary jurisdictions whose companies have no apparent restriction — but whose ownership traces back to restricted parties.
Dual-use component tracking in commercial electronics
Commercial off-the-shelf electronic components are increasingly subject to BIS export controls when sold to military end-users — requiring electronics companies to verify the actual end-use and end-user for commercial sales.
CHIPS Act compliance and Chinese entity decoupling
Semiconductor companies must verify that CHIPS Act subsidies aren’t being used to benefit Chinese entities, and prevent advanced chip sales to Chinese military end-users and state-owned semiconductor manufacturers — all while identifying Chinese entities hidden through ownership structures and transshipment networks.
Verify who’s at the end of your electronics distribution chain.
Sayari connects corporate registry data, trade transaction records, and government watchlists — giving electronics compliance teams the ownership-level intelligence to identify diversion risk, restricted end-users, and transshipment networks before the shipment clears. For CHIPS Act compliance and semiconductor export controls, Sayari enables companies to verify beneficial ownership across Taiwan and Chinese supply chains, identify sanctioned or military-affiliated Chinese entities, and prove due diligence in high-risk jurisdictions.
Trace the beneficial ownership of every distributor, reseller, and trading company in your electronics distribution network — surfacing connections to BIS-listed entities and restricted end-users.
Identify transshipment intermediaries by connecting trade records to corporate ownership — revealing the network of companies used to move restricted electronics to sanctioned end-users.
Verify the actual end-user and end-use of commercial electronic components subject to BIS dual-use controls — before completing the export transaction.
Go beyond name-match screening — identify connections between your distribution partners and BIS Entity List, Military End-User List, and OFAC SDN entities through ownership traversal.
From raw data to confident decision.
Screen distribution partners at onboarding
Resolve new distributors and resellers against the Sayari world model — verifying beneficial ownership and flagging connections to restricted parties before account activation.
Verify end-use and end-user for flagged transactions
For transactions triggering dual-use controls or red flags, Sayari investigates the end-user’s corporate structure to verify the actual ultimate end-user and end-use.
Monitor your distribution network continuously
Ongoing monitoring flags new BIS designations, ownership changes, and related-party events across your electronics distribution channel.
records — including the trade data that surfaces diversion networks
Sayari links electronic component trade transaction data to the corporate ownership structures behind shippers, receivers, and intermediary trading companies — revealing the diversion networks that move restricted semiconductors to restricted end-users.

What decisive electronics teams accomplish.
Electronics compliance teams complete distribution partner ownership investigations in hours — without manual registry research across Taiwan, South Korea, China, and offshore jurisdictions.
Full corporate ownership coverage of electronics distribution intermediaries — including the Hong Kong, Singapore, and UAE trading companies used in semiconductor diversion networks.
Every Sayari investigation produces a timestamped record with primary-source citations — ready for BIS voluntary disclosure or internal compliance audit.
