Search Primer

Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.

Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "China import").

Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead.

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., +CBP).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., -ruling).

Singular form: Always use the singular form when doing multi-word terms (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls").

Shortest word form: When you have different word forms in a quoted (multi-word) term, you want to only include the shortest version if it is the last part of the expression (e.g., "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").

Treasury Paves Way for More Publishing-Related Exports to Syria
April 15, 2015 |Treasury Dept.

The Treasury Department amended the Syrian Sanctions Regulations in recent days to authorize general licenses for non-restricted exports related to publishing, as well as a range of other affiliated activities. The Treasury slashes barriers for publishing exports and other activities “not already exempt from regulation, that support the publishing and marketing of manuscripts, books, journals, and newspapers in paper and electronic format,” said the agency’s Office of Foreign Assets Control in an April 13 final rule (here). The International Emergency Economic Powers Act already permits some publishing sector exports and activities to Syria, OFAC said. “OFAC is issuing a new general license set forth in 31 CFR 542.532 to authorize, subject to certain limitations, transactions not already exempt from regulation,” the final rule said. The general license eliminates restrictions on Export Administration Regulations-controlled “embedded software” and other controlled information and technology, said OFAC.
