Short answer
Does Sanctions screening apply to your operation, and which paragraph decides?
Sanctions screening rests on 31 CFR Chapter V and is tested here by a deterministic rule tree of 3 rules with a coverage score of 44 percent. The tree reads your facts, names the paragraph that decides the question and returns an outcome carrying citation, content hash and read date 2026-08-15. The outcome is a machine classification, not a compliance decision.
