Full name: International Trade Administration Consolidated Screening List
Short explanation
The Consolidated Screening List (CSL) is a U.S. International Trade Administration search and data surface that combines multiple federal export-control and sanctions lists. It is meant to reduce one-list-at-a-time checks by letting users search Commerce, State, and Treasury records together. A CSL hit is a pointer to a source-list record, so the source agency and source list still matter.

How it’s used
- Export compliance: companies use the CSL to look up parties across multiple U.S. government restricted-party lists before an export or reexport.
- Source-list triage: a CSL result identifies which agency list produced the match, such as BIS, State, or OFAC.
- Data ingestion: screening systems use CSL exports or APIs as broad initial coverage, then preserve each source list and restriction type.
