Clear Terms

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").

California Company Settles With OFAC Over Alleged Violations of Iran Sanctions
March 1, 2017 |Treasury Dept.

California-based United Medical Instruments entered into a $515,400 civil settlement with the Office of Foreign Assets Control after the company allegedly committed 56 violations of the Iranian Transactions and Sanctions Regulations, OFAC announced (here). Compliance with the terms of its September 2013 settlement agreement with the Bureau of Industry and Security and payment of $15,400 to the Treasury will satisfy the company’s obligation to pay the settlement, OFAC said. From about Dec. 5, 2007, to about April 30, 2009, the firm violated the regulations on at least 56 occasions by selling a total of about $2.5 million worth of medical imaging equipment with “knowledge or reason to know that the goods were intended specifically for supply or re-exportation to buyers located in Iran, and when it facilitated the sales of medical imaging equipment from a company located in the United Arab Emirates to Iran,” OFAC said.
