Frequently asked questions

It means that its property and interests in property under U.S. jurisdiction are blocked and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from dealing with this entity. Entities it owns 50% or more of, directly or indirectly, are also considered blocked.

Can a non-U.S. company do business with Conquista?

OFAC sanctions bind U.S. persons and companies, as well as transactions that pass through the U.S. financial system (for example, U.S. dollar payments). Some programs, such as those for Russia and Iran, include secondary sanctions on non-U.S. persons. Seek advice before transacting.

How does an entity get removed from the SDN list?

A sanctioned party can petition OFAC for removal by showing a change in circumstances. OFAC publishes removals on its website; DataCloud USA updates the list daily and marks the profiles of delisted parties.
