“Comprehensive” – In general, under comprehensive sanctions programs, ALL interactions and activities are prohibited, including exporting to, importing from, financial transactions of any kind, and/or providing services of any kind.

Sanctions Programs and Country Information
OFAC administers a number of different sanctions programs. The sanctions can be either comprehensive or selective, using the blocking of assets and trade restrictions to accomplish foreign policy and national security goals.

Andere soorten sanctielijsten die door OFAC worden bijgehouden, zijn onder meer de identificatielijst van de sanctieafdeling (gericht op Rusland), de sanctielijst van buitenlandse emigranten, de niet-SDN-lijst van de Palestijnse Wetgevende Raad en de sanctielijst voor Iran. OFAC-sancties worden in twee categorieën geïmplementeerd: Alomvattende sancties: het verbieden van alle soorten transacties tussen de Verenigde Staten en een gesanctioneerd land, bijvoorbeeld Noord-Korea, Syrië of Soedan. Alomvattende sancties: het beperken van transacties tussen de Verenigde Staten en een specifiek bedrijf, individu of branche, bijvoorbeeld aanhangers of financiers van een onvriendelijk politiek regime.``

Bijgaand nog iets meer toelichting: OFAC sanction programs can be generalized into three categories:

“Comprehensive” – In general, under comprehensive sanctions programs, ALL interactions and activities are prohibited, including exporting to, importing from, financial transactions of any kind, and/or providing services of any kind. While essentially all interactions with comprehensively sanctioned countries are prohibited, there is an exception for informational materials that allows certain transactions to occur. Currently, the “comprehensively” sanctioned countries include Cuba, Iran, Syria, and North Korea.
“Limited” – Under limited sanctions programs only some activities (e.g. importation of items) are prohibited.
“Regime or List-Based” – Regime or List-Based sanctions are targeted against specific individuals identified by the Treasury Department and referred to as Specially Designated Nationals (SDNs) or are targeted against specific groups of people usually associated with a governmental body or regime.
For additional information on a specific sanction program, see OFAC Sanction Program Summaries.
