Supplement No. 3 to Part 746 - Controls on the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro), Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia Administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control

Note:

OFAC administers a comprehensive embargo on the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro), certain areas of Croatia, and Bosnian Serb-controlled areas of the Republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina. Effective January 16, 1996, OFAC suspended the application of sanctions on Croatia and Serbia and Montenegro. Therefore, exporters should consult the Country Chart in Supplement No. 1 to part 738 of the EAR for BXA controls. OFAC controls on Bosnian Serb-controlled area of Bosnia-Herzegovina remain in effect. (See amendment to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) and Bosnian Serb-Controlled Areas of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina Sanctions Regulations in the Federal Register of January 19, 1996 (61 FR 1282) (31 CFR part 585).) This suspension affects paragraphs (a) and (c) of this supplement.

(a) Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia & Montenegro). OFAC administers an embargo on exports and reexports to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) (FRY(S & M)). OFAC administers this embargo under Executive Orders 12808 of May 30, 1992, 12810 of June 5, 1992, 12831 of January 15, 1993, 12846 of April 25, 1993, and 12934 of October 25, 1994, and consistent with United Nations Security Council Resolutions 757 of May 30, 1992, 787 of November 16, 1992, 820 of April 17, 1993, and 942 of September 23, 1994. Under this embargo, no items subject to U.S. jurisdiction may be exported, directly or indirectly, to the FRY (S & M), or to any entity operated from the FRY (S & M), or owned or controlled by, or specially designated as acting for or on behalf of the Government of the FRY (S & M). The applicable OFAC regulations, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) Sanctions Regulations, are found in 31 CFR part 585. Exporters should apply to OFAC for authorization to export or reexport items subject to the EAR to the FRY (S & M). An authorization from OFAC constitutes authorization under the EAR, and no BXA license is necessary.

(b) Bosnia-Herzegovina. (1) BXA maintains the controls reflected on the Country Chart in Supplement 1 to part 738 of the EAR on Bosnia-Herzegovina, except to the extent OFAC maintains controls on exports or reexports to that country.

(2) OFAC maintains a comprehensive embargo on trade, including exports from the United States or by U.S. persons to, or through, those areas of the Republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina under the control of the Bosnian Serb forces, or activity of any kind that promotes or is intended to promote such dealing. OFAC maintains this embargo under Executive Orders 12846 of April 25, 1993 and 12934 of October 25, 1994, and consistent with United Nations Security Council Resolutions 820 of April 17, 1993 and 942 of September 23, 1994. The applicable OFAC regulations, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) Sanctions Regulations, are found in 31 CFR part 585. U.S. persons should apply to OFAC for authorization to engage in trade-related transactions involving those areas of the Republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina under the control of the Bosnian Serb forces. An authorization from OFAC constitutes authorization under the EAR, and no BXA license is necessary. You will need a license from BXA for items controlled on the CCL to Bosnia-Herzegovina when the export or reexport is destined to areas in the Republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina not controlled by the Bosnian Serb forces. You may need a license from BXA to reexport U.S.-origin items from third countries to areas of the Republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina under the control of the Bosnian Serb forces.

(c) Croatia. (1) BXA maintains the controls reflected on the Country Chart in Supplement 1 to part 738 of the EAR on Croatia, except to the extent OFAC maintains controls on exports or reexports to that country.

(2) OFAC prohibits any dealing by a U.S. person relating to the export to, or transshipment through, the United Nations Protected Areas in the Republic of Croatia. OFAC maintains this embargo under Executive Order 12846 of April 25, 1993, and consistent with United Nations Security Council Resolution 820 of April 17, 1993. The applicable OFAC regulations, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) Sanctions Regulations, are found in 31 CFR part 585. U.S. persons should apply to OFAC for authorization to engage in trade-related transactions involving the United Nations Protected Areas in the Republic of Croatia. An authorization from OFAC constitutes authorization under the EAR, and no BXA license is necessary. You will need a license from BXA for items controlled on the CCL to Croatia when the export or reexport is destined to areas other than the United Nations Protected Areas in the Republic of Croatia. Foreign persons may need a license from BXA to reexport U.S.-origin items from third countries to the United Nations Protected Areas in the Republic of Croatia.
