The Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) is updating the list of medical supplies eligible for exportation or reexportation to Iran under the general license set forth at section 560.530(a)(3)(i) of the Iranian Transactions and Sanctions Regulations, 31 C.F.R. part 560 (ITSR), to include additional items that meet the definition of the term “medical supplies” set forth at section 560.530(a)(3)(ii) of the ITSR and referenced in the general license originally issued on October 22, 2012 for the export of basic medical supplies to Iran.
For reference, OFAC previously published related frequently asked questions on the general license to provide guidance on the scope and limitations of this general license. OFAC also previously released guidance on the sale of food, agricultural commodities, medicine, and medical devices by non-U.S. persons to Iran.
