OFAC administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions to protect against threats to national security, foreign policy, or the economy. Sanctions may be comprehensive embargoes, which prohibit most activities with the embargoed country, or targeted sanctions that ban specific activities with or within a given country. They include:
targeted foreign countries and regimes
terrorists
international narcotics traffickers
those engaged in activities related to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction
OFAC also prohibits certain transactions or dealings with persons or entities designated as “Specially Designated Nationals” (SDNs). The SDN website provides a list that must be routinely checked against any contemplated transactions, such as:
entering into an international research collaboration or agreement
retaining the services of foreign entities or individuals
entering into transactions with or within a foreign country
Transactions or dealings include any service, payment, or agreement for a payment regardless of the amount. Violations of these sanctions may result in civil or criminal penalties.
