OFAC Guidance - License Application Guidelines for Exports to Iran and Sudan of Agricultural Commodities, Medicine, and Medical Devices

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.

Please click "Apply Text String Filters" again after clicking the "Close" button immediately below.

Notes:

1) Refer to comments to OFAC TSRA Program Description & Background.

Since this document was initially published (as early as 26 Oct 2011), specific licenses for -eligible goods to Iran have become rare as a result of general licenses, and specific licenses no longer required at all for Sudan. Still, the document is useful for exporters that may want to apply for a specific license to export TSRA-eligible goods to a country or entity for which TSRA requires a favorable licensing policy, but for which the special "one year" rule for certain countries does not apply (e.g. individual SDNs not subject to embargoes or otherwise designated pursuant to 31 parts 536, 544, 594, 595, 597, or...
