of

1977, as amended, and the United Nations Participation Act of 1945, as 
amended, and in conformance with United Nations Security Council 
Resolutions. The applicable OFAC regulations, the Iraqi Sanctions 
Regulations, are found in 31 CFR part 575. You should consult with OFAC 
for authorization to export or reexport items subject to U.S. 
jurisdiction to Iraq, or to any entity owned or controlled by, or 
specially designated as acting for or on behalf of, the Government of 
Iraq. Please note that such applications will generally be denied by 
OFAC, absent a published policy stating otherwise. Under the EAR, you 
need a license to export or reexport to Iraq any item on the CCL 
containing a CB Column 1, CB Column 2, CB Column 3, NP Column 1, NP 
Column 2, NS Column 1, NS Column 2, MT Column 1, RS Column 1, RS Column 
2, CC Column 1, CC Column 2, CC Column 3 in the Country Chart Column of 
the License Requirements section of an ECCN, or classified under ECCNs 
1C980, 1C981, 1C982, 1C983, 1C984, 1C997, 5A980, 0A980, 0A982, 0A983, 
0A985, and 0E982; however, to avoid duplication, an authorization from 
OFAC constitutes authorization under the EAR, and no separate BXA 
authorization is necessary. No person may export or reexport any item 
subject to both the EAR and OFAC's Iraqi Sanctions Regulations without 
prior OFAC authorization. Exports and reexports subject to the EAR that 
are not subject to the Iraqi Sanctions Regulations may require 
authorization from BXA.
    (1) License Exceptions. You may export or reexport without a license 
if your transaction meets all the applicable terms and conditions of one 
of the following License Exceptions. Read each License Exception 
carefully, as the provisions available for embargoed countries are 
generally narrow.
    (i) Baggage (BAG) (see Sec. 740.14 of the EAR).
    (ii) Governments and international organizations (GOV) (see 
Sec. 740.11 of the EAR).
    (2) Exports for the official use of the United Nations, its 
personnel or agencies (excluding its relief or developmental agencies). 
You must consult with OFAC to determine what transactions are eligible.
    (b) Iraq has been designated by the Secretary of State as a country 
that has repeatedly provided support for acts of international 
terrorism. For anti-terrorism controls, see Supplement 2 to part 742 of 
the EAR.
    (c) Related controls. OFAC maintains controls on the activities of 
U.S. persons, wherever located, involving transactions with Iraq or any 
specially designated Iraqi national, as provided in 31 CFR part 575.
