Petition to be removed from the OFAC SDN List
There is a specific procedure for appealing the US sanctions listing. First, we will consider filing a petition with the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the US Department of Treasury to have you removed from the list. However, the threshold is very high. We will need to prove that your OFAC SND listing is a result of a factual or legal mistake. Accordingly, you must have really reliable evidence and documents to prove your case. Another option is to show that since the listing, the underlying circumstances have changed to the point where the listing is no longer unjustified. Or alternatively, one could propose a scenario in which the circumstances will change this way.
Negotiations while your petition is pending with OFAC
First, OFAC considers the petition to lift the sanctions. As a result, this office may send a request for comments and/or additional documents. Such requests may happen more than once. However, it marks a very important moment – the start of negotiations with OFAC. Negotiations with OFAC usually are complex and lengthy. This involves searching for additional evidence and documents, providing the necessary information, and adjusting the position. Much will depend on the willingness of the client to make concessions and compromises.
Challenging your inclusion in the OFAC SDN list in court
Challenging OFAC’s actions in court is a last resort and should only be used when all other measures have failed. However, it is sometimes necessary to do so, such as when OFAC unnecessarily delays resolving a complaint or fails to respond to a petition or request for an extended period of time. While there are few grounds for challenging OFAC sanctions in court, litigation against OFAC can be an effective remedy for OFAC’s inaction.
If you or your company is under US sanctions, whether listed by OFAC or the US Department of Commerce, you can contact us. We will quickly assess your situation and develop a specific step-by-step plan.
