Extract

"The Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) is issuing this Guidance in response to inquiries it has received from medical suppliers and financial institutions with regard to the humanitarian exceptions to sanctions on Iran. As we have stated in previous guidance, the U.S. maintains broad authorizations and exceptions that allow for the sale of food, medicine, and medical devices by U.S. persons or from the United States to Iran. U.S. sanctions laws provide similar allowances for sales of food, agricultural commodities, medicine, and medical devices to Iran by non-U.S. persons."
