OFAC’S SPECIALLY DESIGNATED NATIONALS AND BLOCKED PERSONS LIST (SDN)
The U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) publishes a list of individuals, groups, and entities designated under both country-specific and non-country-specific programs. These designated individuals and companies are known as "Specially Designated Nationals" or "SDNs." Their assets are blocked, and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from dealing with them. Such economic sanctions can have dire consequences and a long-standing impact. At Carrillo & Associates, we have the experience of successfully removing clients from this list. Please contact us if you need legal representation.
