Russia Sanctions, Compliance and Consequences

What you need to know about Export Control Sanctions on Russia

The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) imposed expansive export controls against Russia & Belarus covering both U.S. origin products and numerous items made abroad. Sanctions were effective immediately, therefore no grace period was granted. This one-hour course will outline the new export controls and what exporters, re-exporters, and in-country transferors need to know.

Agenda

We will discuss sanctions imposed by the BIS and Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) on Russia. Our focus will be on five areas:

• BIS country-wide export controls
• BIS sectoral sanctions
• BIS military end use/end user controls
• OFAC sectoral sanctions
• OFAC financial and trade sanctions.

Points we will cover include:

• Application of the new Russia foreign direct product rule and the savings clause
• Scope of BIS Sectoral Sanctions
• Scope of OFAC Sectoral Sanctions, Directives and General Licenses
