美国财政部签发关于新型冠状病毒制裁豁免的情况介绍
美国财政部外国资产控制办公室（OFAC）最近发布了一份情况介绍，强调了在伊朗、委内瑞拉、朝鲜、叙利亚、古巴，以及乌克兰/俄罗斯相关制裁项目下对于人道主义援助和贸易的豁免、例外和授权政策。
有关的豁免、例外和授权允许从美国，或由美国个人或实体，或由美国拥有或控制的外国实体向受制裁国家提供人道主义援助，以及商业销售和出口农产品、食品、药品以及医疗设备。
关于新型冠状病毒的相关支持，美国财政部继续强调，美国和非美国个人/实体可根据美国制裁法律和条例中的现有豁免、例外和授权，向受制裁国家提供此类人道主义物品，包括药品和医疗设备。
例如，大多数医药和医疗设备，包括某些个人防护设备和用于新型冠状病毒治疗的其他物品，例如医疗服、医用眼罩和护目镜、外科手套、面罩、特定防毒面具和例如N95、N99和N100的口罩，以及特定呼吸机，已经被获准根据一般许可证出口和再出口到受制裁国家，无需获得OFAC的进一步批准。
某些受限制的物品也可能有助于新型冠状病毒的医疗援助，例如，氧气发生器、全脸防毒面具，包括电动空气净化面具，特定诊断性医疗成像设备，以及特定去污设备。由于担心这些特定物品潜在的最终用途，OFAC规章设置特定的审查流程，对这些物品的许可证申请实施一票一议原则。目前OFAC正在优先考虑，并加快审查这些物品的许可申请。
“情况介绍”概述了OFAC实施的与个人防护装备（PPE）和其他新型冠状病毒相关的人道主义援助和贸易有关的制裁方案的具体指南。

US DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY ISSUES FACT SHEET ON COVID-19 SANCTION EXEMPTIONS
The US Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has recently issued a Fact Sheet highlighting exemptions, exceptions and authorizations for humanitarian assistance and trade under the Iran, Venezuela, North Korea, Syria, Cuba, and Ukraine/Russia-related sanctions programs.
The exemptions, exceptions and authorizations in question allow for the provision of humanitarian assistance and the commercial sale and export of agricultural commodities, food, medicine, and medical devices, to sanctioned countries from the United States, or by US persons, or by US-owned or controlled foreign entities.
For COVID-19 related support, the US Department of the Treasury continues to stress that US and non-US persons may provide such humanitarian goods - including medicine and medical devices - to sanctioned countries under existing exemptions, exceptions and authorizations in US sanctions laws and regulations.
For example, most medicine and medical devices, including certain personal protective equipment and other items used for COVID-19 treatment - such as medical gowns, medical eye shields and goggles, surgical gloves, face shields, certain respirators and masks such as N95, N99, and N100 masks, and certain ventilators - already qualify for export and re-export to sanctioned countries under general licenses, without the need for further authorization from OFAC.
There are certain limited categories of items that may also be helpful for COVID-19 medical assistance - e.g., oxygen generators, full face mask respirators, including powered air purifying respirators, certain diagnostic medical imaging equipment, and certain decontamination equipment - for which OFAC regulations set forth a specific licensing policy for review of license applications on a case-by-case basis due to concerns about potential end use of these specific items. OFAC is prioritizing and expediting review of these license requests.
The Fact Sheet outlines specific guidance for OFAC-administered sanctions programs related to personal protective equipment (PPE) and other COVID-19-related humanitarian assistance and trade.
