What term describes individuals or entities not based in the U.S.?

In BSA/AML work, you distinguish customers by location to determine which rules apply. The term for individuals or entities not based in the U.S. is Non-U.S. Persons. This label signals that the subject operates outside U.S. jurisdiction or is not organized under U.S. law, which can affect which regulations and due diligence steps apply, screening considerations, and risk assessments. The other choices describe sanctions status, or generic compliance approaches, and do not denote people or entities by their geographic basis.
