In recent months, the United States has imposed a complex mix of economic sanctions and export controls on the Russia Federation, Belarus, and the Self-Declared Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics (DNR and LNR). In Wiggin and Dana’s Summary of Recent OFAC Sanctions and BIS Export Controls on Russia, Belarus, and the Self-Declared Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics in Ukraine we summarize and organize, in a series of at-a-glance tables, the tangled web of new controls implemented by the Department of Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) (economic sanctions) and the Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) (export controls). Legal authorities covered in this Advisory are identified in the table below.

Wiggin and Dana’s International Trade Compliance Practice Group will continue to provide briefings as more information becomes available. For more information and advice regarding recent OFAC and BIS developments, contact partner Tahlia Townsend, co-chair of Wiggin and Dana’s International Trade Compliance practice group, at ttownsend@wiggin.com, or counsel Sean Koehler, skoehler@wiggin.com.
