Certain countries, organizations, and individuals are subject to U.S. sanctions, embargoes, and other export restrictions. These restrictions apply to all export transactions, whether the transaction occurs across borders or within the United States (a deemed export).
What Transactions May Be Restricted
The following types of activities may be subject to sanctions or licensing requirements:
- Financial transactions with foreign entities or individuals
- Services, including training, consulting, or publications
- Shipment or use of export-controlled items, such as materials under a material transfer agreement
- Sharing information related to controlled technology
Key Compliance Steps
- Check the Sanctioned Status
- Before exporting any item, technology, or information, verify whether the country, organization, or individual is sanctioned.
- Determine whether a license or other authorization is required.
- Understand Licensing Options
- Some transactions may be prohibited entirely, while others may be permitted with a license.
- Always confirm with the UMB Export Compliance Team before proceeding.
- Resources for Review
Important Reminder
Never export items, data, or services to a sanctioned country, entity, or individual until you have confirmed whether the transaction is allowed and whether a license is required. Contact the Export Compliance Team for guidance on reviewing and clearing transactions.
