International Law Advisory - OFAC Updates SDN List

On November 3 and 9, 2005, the U.S. Treasury Department, Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) made significant additions to the list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (the “SDN List”). All of the additions to the SDN List, primarily Colombian nationals, have been identified as Specially Designated Narcotics Trafficker (“SDNT”) or Specially Designated Narcotics Trafficker Kingpins (“SDNTK”).

Specially Designated Narcotics Traffickers (“SDNT”) is a term used to collectively refer to significant foreign narcotics traffickers or foreign persons designated by the Department of Treasury.  Specially Designated Narcotics Trafficker Kingpins (“SDNTK”) is used to distinguish those persons designated under the Kingpin Act (21 U.S.C. § 1901-1908, 8 U.S.C. § 1182), which blocks The Kingpin Act all property and interests in property of foreign persons who are found to be “(1) materially assisting in, or providing financial or technological support for or to, or providing goods or services in support of , the international trafficking activities of a person designated pursuant to the Kingpin Act; (2) owned, controlled, or directed by, or acting for or on behalf of, a person designated pursuant to the Kingpin Act; or (3) playing a significant role in international narcotics trafficking.”

Companies should update their OFAC Compliance screening mechanisms to ensure that any existing business relationships or transactions, and any relationships or transactions in the future, are in compliance with the revised SDN List.

The SDN List has been revised to include the following new information:
