Ed. Note: if you’re new to TURBOFAC, please take note that the text string filtration function generally shouldn’t be used for terms such as “ordinarily resident,” “causing” or “new debt”. For research on the meaning of words and phrases such as those, i.e. terms central to the key legal issues in sanctions law that appear on a cross-programmatic basis, you’re typically better off locating and checking the appropriate box in the “Key Legal Issues” search category, which will limit the results to those that have been manually assessed as being relevant for the interpretation of the terms at issue.

Try typing your search term (“ordinarily resident,” “new debt,” or something else) in the “Find a Search Filter” box at the top of the page, and the corresponding “Key Legal Issues” check box will pop up instantly, if one exists. Once you check the box (e.g. “new debt,” with ~55 results), you can always use the text string filtration function to further refine your search (e.g. by typing “invoice” and narrowing the ~55 results to ~10).

Note in addition that the same applies to text string searches such as “14071” (if you’re looking for items related to EO 14071). By typing “14071” in the “Find a Search Filter” field up top, you will be able to instantly narrow the results down to items manually assessed as relating to EO 14071. Ditto terms such as “515.204” or “Iran General License G” (try the “Discrete Legal Provision” search category). Please contact [email protected] or [email protected] with any questions on search results and efficiency.

Notes:

1) Compare Ethiopia General License Number 3 (similar general ag/med issued pursuant to a list-based sanctions program). The GL is generally standard as it relates to “the exportation or reexportation of agricultural commodities, medicine, medical devices, replacement parts and components for medical devices, or software updates for medical devices,” but apart from Western Balkans GL 3 it is the only GL in any sanctions program (as of the date of issuance) that covers “the prevention, diagnosis, or treatment of any disease or medical condition”. This GL (but not the Western Balkans GL) clarifies that this covers “all transactions ordinarily incident to the provision of medical care and the operation of medical clinics or facilities.” It is notable that OFAC interprets the term “ordinarily incident and necessary to…the prevention, diagnosis, or treatment of any disease or medical condition”...
