Seeking to export coated abrasives from the USA to Iran. Under the current administration, are there export controls or sanctions on this product?
Generally speaking all exports from the United States to Iran require a US export license and the government generally will deny applications for all items except, for example, for food and certain medical items. Also, the US imposes nearly the same rules on US origin products outside the United States being reexported from, for example, Canada, to Iran. The US also imposes rules on non-US origin items that have US content or that were produced using US technology. And, if you are a US person, you may not be involved in transactions with Iran or entities owned, controlled or acting on behalf of Iran. For example, you may not approve or facilitate any transaction with Iran, even if the transaction is a shipment of German tables from Germany to Iran.
