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).

• Thai-based “ Intracorp” for “having operated in the trust and corporate formation services sector of the Russian Federation economy” by having “facilitated the establishment of companies in Thailand for Russians and for third-country nationals wishing to do business with the Russian market”. It is not clear whether this sort of activity is in all cases sanctionable; here OFAC highlights that intracorp “administered the top Thailand-based companies sending high priority items to Russia,” including a blocked person.
• An “India-based” company that “sent hundreds of shipments of U.S.-trademarked technology, including advanced servers designed for artificial intelligence and...
