On March 6, 2024, the US Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), the US Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and the US Department of Commerce (collectively, the “Agencies”) published their latest in a series of Tri-Seal Compliance Notes in which they emphasized that foreign-based persons have an obligation to comply with US sanctions and export controls.[1] The Compliance Note does not reflect any policy change, but serves as a reminder that the Agencies have enforced sanctions and export controls against non-US persons, and highlights that non-US firms should implement measures to mitigate their risk of violating US laws.
