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).

1) Customs ruling illustrating the extraordinary breadth of 560.206 of the ITSR, but with what appears to be a notable accommodation on the part of OFAC having the effect of tempering the breadth of the provision.
2) 560.206, on its face, prohibits "any transaction or dealing in or related to…[g]oods…of Iranian origin…" The 1997 EO that this provision implements probably did not expect that provision to cover, for 23 years and counting, 100-year-old antiques originating in what was at the time called the "Sublime State of Persia," part of which was located outside of the territory of modern Iran, and located in a country other than Iran since before the current embargo was imposed.
Here, customs reports that "OFAC has waived any license...
