OFAC COMPLIANCE SERVICES
The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the US Department of the Treasury administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions based on US foreign policy and national security goals. OFAC acts under Presidential national emergency powers, as well as authority granted by specific legislation, to impose control on transactions and freeze assets under US jurisdiction. OFAC administers a number of different sanctions programs. The sanctions can be either comprehensive or selective, using the blocking of assets and trade restrictions to accomplish foreign policy and national security goals.
Many of these sanctions which are based on United Nations and other international mandates, are multilateral in scope and involve close cooperation with allied governments.
If you live in the United States, and your current or your previous nationality is one of the countries listed as countries under any kind of U.S sanctions, you are subjected to OFAC rules.
