Haiti: oil import rules

These are the same rules the Regulatory Matrix API serves for Haiti-bound trade: which products private parties can move, which run through a government or monopoly route, and which are closed outright.

Does OilFlow screen counterparties against Haiti regulations?
Yes. The same rule table shown on this page ships in the Regulatory Matrix API; counterparty checks destined for Haiti are gated against these rules automatically.

This rule table is one leg of every counterparty check we run: the tradability rule for the destination country fires alongside the fraud cluster match and the eight-list sanctions screen. Compliance teams that want to call /api/v1/regulatory/check from their own intake systems are scoped on a call, no list price. Screening a named counterparty into Haiti? Run the free check below.
