Taking Additional Measures to Degrade Russia’s Wartime Economy

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) On 6-12-24 the State Department designated a number of third-country entities for Russia-related transactions. A key designation is the designation of a Turkish-based company for “providing berthing and repair services to two blocked vessels” under the “materially assists” provision. The other designations of third-country companies were for “operating in” specified sectors for providing Russia with certain sensitive goods and services, or at least this is assumed on the basis of the introduction to the document, in which the State Department says that the “designations target producers, exporters, and importers of items critical to Russia’s military-industrial base” and that the “items include items on the Common High Priority List (CHPL)”. It appears likely from the wording that some of the items weren’t necessarily on the list, but they were still of a type such that the exporter would have had a reason to know of the...
