OFAC Regulatory Provisions - 31 CFR § 560.205 - Prohibited reexportation of goods, technology, or services to Iran or the Government of Iran by persons other than United States persons; exceptions.

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) 560.205, which directly implements Sec. 2(b) of Executive Order 13059, is unique to the . It is, at once, an assertion of jurisdiction by OFAC over re-exports of U.S. content-containing items, and also a de minimis "safe harbor" for items containing less than 10% U.S.-origin content.

2) As of 9-25-2020, only one enforcement action has been based solely on violations of 560.205. See Civil Enforcement Information - Keysight Technologies, Inc..

For discussion concerning the inherent limitations of 560.205, and its relationship with 560.204, refer to General Note on the Distinction between ITSR Sections 560.204 and 560.205, and "Causing" Violations of 560.204 from Abroad (System Ed. Note). See also JCPOA Implementation FAQ K-13, Case No. IA-2012-298076-1, and FR Notice Explaining the Scope of § 560.205(a)(2)...
