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).

*SYNOPSIS
The provision of “brokering” services in connection with transactions involving sanctioned persons or destinations almost always constitute an “export of services” to a sanctioned destination and/or an activity within the scope of the basic blocking prohibition. Because brokering is “facilitation” of an underlying transaction, but not merely facilitation, the “brokering” of an underlying transaction that does not involve U.S. persons but could be engaged in directly by U.S. persons will generally still need to be “authorized” in order to be permissible. Whether brokering activities are authorized—either in connection with an underlying transaction that does or does not involve U.S. persons—will depend on more than an analysis of whether the underlying transaction is authorized. This is because many, but not all, brokering activities are...
