Denied Persons List

The Denied Persons List (DPL) is a list created by the U.S. government that identifies individuals and entities who are prohibited from receiving U.S. export licenses or engaging in certain trade activities. This usually happens because they are involved in activities that threaten national security, foreign policy, or economic interests. Businesses and individuals must check this list before engaging in exports to ensure compliance with U.S. laws, as violating these restrictions can result in severe penalties. Essentially, it’s a safeguard for U.S. interests against potentially harmful transactions.
