Notes:

[1-10-25 update - FAQ # 1206, interpreting a somewhat similar GL in he Syria context, provides helpful guidance on the meaning of the term "governing institutions" that likely has applicability in this context as well]

1) Refer to the following FAQs, and comments thereto, that explain and interpret this GL: FAQ # 991, FAQ # 992, FAQ # 993, FAQ # 994, FAQ # 995, FAQ # 996 and FAQ # 997. This GL is extremely broad, and renders obsolete all or virtually all of the Afghanistan-related GLs that preceded it.

2) See State Department announcement at https://www.state.gov/additional-general-license-involving-afghanistan-or-governing-institutions-in-afghanistan.

The United States took action today to facilitate a broad range of commercial activity in Afghanistan that will benefit the Afghan people.
