About this webinar
When the EU sanctioned Yangzhou Yangjie in April 2026, the move seemed sudden—but the underlying risk had been visible for years.
For compliance and supply chain teams, the designation highlights a critical challenge: identifying risk before an entity appears on a sanctions list. Screening against a government list alone may not generate any red flags, even when network relationships and shipment patterns signal significant exposure.
Once an entity is listed, organizations with exposure must quickly determine which aspects of their operations are affected and what the restrictions mean for inventory that’s already in motion.
Experts from Kharon and Z2 discuss the Yangzhou Yangjie designation and the practical lessons it offers for moving from reactive compliance to proactive due diligence.
The session covers:
Warning signs in plain sight: The network and trade activity that indicated elevated risk before the EU took action.
Beyond ownership screening: How high-quality risk intelligence can uncover exposure that other data sources may miss.
Lessons for sourcing and compliance: How to incorporate ongoing monitoring into supplier decisions.
Where similar signals are emerging: What comparable patterns may reveal about potential future designations.
