OFAC, The Office of Foreign Assets Control is an agency of US. It works under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence. Administering and enforcing economic and trade sanctions are functions of agency. All US based business and organizations must have to meet these imposed sanctions for foreign policy and national security goals. An agency publishes and maintains a list called SDN (Specially Designated Nationals) list. OFAC SDN List includes names of individuals and organizations which are prohibited to do business with US based business companies. These individuals and organizations are individual terrorists, terrorist organizations and state sponsors of terrorism such as Iran and North Korea. OFAC SDN List is maintained and updated time to time by agency. If any individual or any company is wrongly listed by agency, it is a serious matter. One should immediately take a step to apply removing his name or company’s name from list. There are experienced and professional lawyers and attorneys available to deal cases for clients involved in US economic sanctions pending before the Office of Foreign Assets Control. Such type of matter is really complicated and requires lawyers with specialized knowledge and higher experience.
