Notice
Summary
On April 15, 2026, the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) blocked certain people and ships by adding them to a special list. This means any money or property they have under U.S. control is frozen, and Americans can’t do business with them. These actions help keep bad actors from using U.S. resources and protect national security.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 3 costs, 0 mixed.
Listed persons' U.S. assets frozen
On April 15, 2026, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) placed one or more persons on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (SDN) List. All property and interests in property of those listed that are subject to U.S. jurisdiction are blocked, meaning those assets are frozen under U.S. law.
Listed vessels identified as blocked property
The notice specifies that vessels placed on the SDN List have been identified as property in which a blocked person has an interest as of April 15, 2026. Those vessels are therefore treated as blocked property under U.S. jurisdiction.
U.S. persons barred from dealing with listed parties
OFAC's notice states that U.S. persons are generally prohibited from engaging in transactions with the individuals and vessels added to the SDN List on April 15, 2026. That means Americans and U.S.-based businesses cannot legally do business or transact with those listed parties.
