TURBOFAC Commentary (116 words)

Notes:

1) this document, last updated in 2014, is generally straightforward, but it is notable for the explicit statement concerning the non-applicability of the informational materials exemption to the FNKSR. The document says that:

"Certain types of activities and transactions may be exempt from the prohibitions of the Narcotics Trafficking Sanctions Regulations. For example, the prohibitions in Part 536 do not prohibit the importation from any country and the exportation to any country of certain information or informational materials as defined in 31 C.F.R. § 536.306. This exemption, however, does not apply to Part 598."

Refer generally to General Note on the Applicability of IEEPA/TWEA Exemptions in EOs and Sanctions Regulations not Specifically Mentioning Them.
