Notes:

[8-24-26 update – FAQ amended in connection with Syria SST Designation removal and removal of HTS from the SDN List, and revocation of Syria GL 25. New language strikes authorities for BIS restrictions on exports to Syria]

1) See comments to Executive Order 14312 - Providing for the Revocation of Syria Sanctions (June 30, 2025).

2) The FAQ confirms the obvious with respect to the "export or reexport food or medicine to Syria" (i.e. no OFAC license is required). Then again, such exports were already generally licensed by 542.510 and 542.525.
