OFAC Executive Order 13808 - Imposing Additional Sanctions with Respect to the Situation in Venezuela (August 24, 2017)

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) The relationship between the Venezuela-related sanctions authorities is complex, and discussed in detail in General Note on the Venezuela Sanctions Regulations, the Blocking of the Government of Venezuela and other Venezuela-related EOs (System Ed. Note).

2) Prior to November, 2019, this is a "stand alone" EO in the sense that, while it was related to the EO 13692 insofar as it was issued to take additional steps in connection with the same national emergency as the one declared in EO 13692, the prohibitions imposed by the EO were not incorporated in the VSR. This is no longer the case. See comment to 591.201 and General Note on the Relationship Between Executive Orders, General Licenses and Sanctions Regulations Issued Pursuant to a Common National Emergency (System Ed. Note)).

3) This is a relatively rare non-blocking...
