Sudanese Sanctions Regulations Amended
October 2007
On October 31, 2007 the Sudanese Sanctions Regulations were amended to partially lift the prohibitions imposed across the country. The blocking and asset freezing of denied entities will remain in effect and unchanged as will the prohibitions involving petroleum and petrochemical industries throughout all of Sudan.
The following areas have been taken off of the prohibited list:
- Southern Sudan, Southern Kordofan/Nuba Mountains State
- Blue Nile State
- Abyei
- Darfur
- 4 official camps for internally displaced persons in Khartoum
This will allow for export/import trade activities involving goods, services and technology to the above mentioned areas without a license. If the transaction involves property or assets held by the government of Sudan or a denied persons, relates to Sudan’s petroleum or petrochemical industry, or involves transshipment through regions of Sudan that are prohibited, a license must be obtained from OFAC.
