What to do if you get an OFAC hit?

First, you should contact a lawyer specializing in sanctions law as quickly as possible. Actions must be strategically planned: from gathering documents and preparing a delisting petition to communicating with OFAC. A legal analysis of the reasons for inclusion should be conducted, and a defense strategy should be developed, which includes requesting clarifications from OFAC (Request for Information) and, if necessary, submitting a petition for delisting (Delisting Petition). It is also important to cease all operations that could violate the sanctions regime to avoid additional sanctions or criminal liability.
