OFAC Issues General License Authorizing Certain Transactions with Respect to Crimea:
The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has issued GENERAL LICENSE NO. 5: Authorizing Certain Activities Prohibited by Executive Order 13685 of December 19, 2014 Necessary to Wind Down Operations Involving the Crimea Region of Ukraine. This general license authorizes “all transactions and activities prohibited by Section 1 of Executive Order 13685 that are ordinarily incident and necessary to the winding down of operations, contracts, or other agreements that were in effect prior to December 20, 2014, involving the importation of any goods, services, or technology from the Crimea region of Ukraine into the United States, are authorized through 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time, February 1, 2015.”
IMPORTANT: CBP will therefore be requiring filers for shipments from Crimea or shipments transported by Crimean shippers to provide purchase orders and/or executed contracts showing when the order and/or contract went into effect. Such documentation will be required through 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time, February 1, 2015, after which General License No. 5 expires and Executive Order 13685 takes full effect.
