Policy Statement

Compliance Position

House of Shabazi & Kanaan does not engage with parties who refuse to provide standard KYC documentation. Transactions involving sanctioned individuals, entities, or jurisdictions are declined at initial screening, without exception. No fee, commission, or margin justifies proceeding with an unverified counterparty.

We do not accept fraudulent trade documents, inflated proof-of-funds instruments, or any documentation inconsistent with standard international trade practice. Submissions containing such documentation are reported to the relevant authorities. This applies equally to buyers, sellers, and their agents.
