Business
General
It is very important to be aware of blacklists and embargoes. The sanctions for breaking these can be extremely severe. These resources can help you check whether a potential partner is subject to any such order. If in doubt you should seek legal advice.
N.B. Where a country (rather than an individual, organisation or ship) is subject to UN or OFAC embargoes, this is indicated at the top of the Country Specific Trade Profile section.

European Union Sanctions
EU sanctions do not target a country or population, but are always targeted at specific policies or activities, the means to conduct them and those responsible for them. Moreover, the EU makes every effort to minimise adverse consequences for the civilian population or for non-sanctioned activities or persons. They always form part of a wider, comprehensive policy approach involving political dialogue and complementary efforts. They are not punitive. |
