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 intelligence finds what list screening misses — before regulators do.

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. 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.

What Was Covered

  • The BIS 50% Affiliates Rule

    How aggregate ownership thresholds reach into Korean supply chains and counterparty networks — and what the November 10 snapback means for live trade programs.

  • Transshipment Enforcement

    BIS’s evolving posture against indirect exports to Russia and China, with Korea-relevant examples of the trade-flow patterns regulators are flagging via Southeast Asia, Central Asia, and the UAE.

  • The Blind Spots in List Screening

    Where shell companies, layered beneficial ownership, and complex structures slip through traditional Dow Jones, LexisNexis, and similar list-based screening tools.

  • Graph + Agentic AI Demo

    A live demonstration across three scenarios: trade-flow and diversion risk detection, a “clean” counterparty’s hidden sanctions network, and shell company identification via the Sayari ownership graph.

Who Should Watch

This session is built for Korean organizations operating in global trade who need to understand U.S. enforcement expectations — not just theory. Specifically:

  • 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
