What if the embassy of a country subject to multilateral or unilateral economic sanctions is located in a country subject to less stringent export controls, for example the Cuban Embassy in France?
For purposes of the EAR, shipments to embassies abroad are considered exports or reexports to the host country, even in the case of an embassy of a country subject to multilateral or unilateral economic sanctions. However, regulations maintained by OFAC may also restrict a transaction of this nature. Exporters are advised to contact OFAC for further clarification. OFAC may be contacted at 1-800-540-6322.
