Summary
The rules about commercial trade apply to everyone doing business in areas under national military occupation inside states or parts of states that are in insurrection. People must follow those rules when trading with others inside those occupied areas or with people in other insurrection areas. Noncitizens in the United States must follow the same trade bans when dealing with residents of states or parts of states declared in insurrection, just like citizens from states not in insurrection.
