## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability br-intelligence-brazilian-company-sanctions-screening-cnpj-84a31520
```

Example prompt: Can you check if Brazilian company CNPJ 07.526.557/0001-00 is on any government sanctions list — specifically CEIS or CNEP — and tell me if there are any active bans or punishments?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to check a specific Brazilian company's government sanctions status using official CGU data (CEIS and CNEP lists). It is the right choice for supplier due diligence, KYB compliance workflows, anticorruption screening under Lei 12.846, or any use case requiring authoritative Brazilian government sanction data by CNPJ. Prefer this over generic business registry lookups when the compliance or legal eligibility question is the primary concern.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed CNPJ returns an error or empty result
- Company not found in CGU databases returns sanctioned=false with empty records (not necessarily meaning the company is legitimate)
- Stale data flag may be set if CGU source files have not been refreshed recently
- Network or upstream CGU data unavailability may cause service errors
- CNPJ with only expired sanctions returns sanctioned=false but non-zero expiredCount

## How this service works

Brazilian company sanctions screening by CNPJ: is the company barred or punished by the government? Official CGU lists CEIS (inidoneas e suspensas) and CNEP (Lei 12.846 anticorruption), with authority, category and dates.

## Output

Returns a boolean 'sanctioned' flag indicating whether the company has at least one active sanction, counts of active and expired sanctions, the date of the official CGU data used, and an array of detailed sanction records each containing the list name (CEIS or CNEP), sanctioning authority, sanction category, start and end dates, active status, and whether the record matches the queried establishment exactly.
