The U.S. Department of the Treasury has imposed trade and other economic sanctions on a variety of countries under nearly two dozen sanctions programs. Trade restrictions target transactions not only with countries that are subject to a U.S. embargo, but also with a growing number of terrorist organizations, drug traffickers, and other designated parties. Although trade restrictions prohibit much economic activity with these parties, certain opportunities still exist. Crowell & Moring's professionals provide clients the following types of services:
