Apple has activation lock tied to the owners AppleID via find my iPhone. Activation lock prevents anyone but the owner from even activating a device (see https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201365).
But as far as carrier blacklists, there is no such global blacklist (and Apple cannot blacklist a device - they don’t own the cellular networks). In the USA there is a universal carrier blacklist, and that same list is honored by Canadian and Mexican carrier’s.
To report a phone for blacklisting, you need to contact your cellular service provider and report the lost or stolen device to them.
