ANTI-MONEY
LAUNDERING.

Reference

Trade is one of the oldest routes for moving illicit value, and trade-based laundering does not look like crime — it looks like an ordinary invoice for the wrong amount. The obligations fall on the parties to the transaction, including ones who did nothing wrong.

What to know
What trade-based laundering looks like
Value is moved by misrepresenting a trade, not by hiding a payment. The transaction is real; the numbers are not.
  • Over- or under-invoicing to shift value across a border
  • Multiple invoices for a single shipment
  • Goods described as something more or less valuable than they are
  • Payment from a third party with no role in the trade
Know your counterparty
Identifying who you are actually trading with — including who ultimately owns them — is the baseline obligation almost everywhere. A company you cannot see the owner of is the specific risk the rules exist for.
Sanctions are strict liability
Dealing with a sanctioned party is an offense whether or not you knew. Screening counterparties against the lists that apply to you is not optional, and "we did not know" is not a defense anywhere it matters.
What GRAJ does
GRAJ verifies participant identity at the level an action requires, records who did what in an append-only log, and refuses to let anyone approve their own verification. Sanctions screening and the legal determinations around it belong with counsel, not a platform.
