TURBOFAC Commentary (144 words)

Notes:

1) FAQ amended on Aug. 11, 2020 "to reflect that Sudan has not been a comprehensively sanctioned country since October 12, 2017" (by adding the reference to § 596.506) (see https://web.archive.org/web/20221207223105/https://home.treasury.gov/policy-issues/financial-sanctions/recent-actions/20200811). Addition of "we highly recommend the use of OFAC’s online application portal."

2) FAQ amended on 4/12/2020 to remove the following statement: "As of January 17, 2017, a specific license from OFAC is not required to export or reexport agricultural commodities, medicines, or medical devices to Sudan, as such transactions are authorized by a general license now set forth in 31 C.F.R. § 596.506."

596.506 was no longer effect as of the Dec. 14, 2020 removal of Sudan from the State Sponsors of Terrorism list. See comments to 596.506.
