23. What do I do if I have a match to the Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) or one of OFAC's other sanctions lists?

If you have checked a name manually or by using software and find a match, you should do a little more research. Is it an exact name match, or very close? Is your customer located in the same general area as the SDN or another entry on one of OFAC's sanctions lists? If not, it may be a "false hit." If there are many similarities, contact OFAC's hotline for verification.
