The Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") of the US Department of the Treasury administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions based on US foreign policy and national security goals against targeted foreign countries and regimes, terrorists, international narcotics traffickers, those engaged in activities related to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and other threats to the national security, foreign policy or economy of the United States. OFAC acts under Presidential national emergency powers, as well as authority granted by specific legislation, to impose controls on transactions and freeze assets under US jurisdiction. Many of the sanctions are based on United Nations and other international mandates, are multilateral in scope, and involve close cooperation with allied governments.

ForeignAssetControl.info provides consulting services to: (i) those seeking licenses from OFAC, (ii) those seeking "advice of counsel" letters prior to engaging in international transactions to minimize the risk of OFAC regulation violations and (iii) those individuals and entities on an OFAC list with assets frozen.
