It will be illegal to import Persian Rugs and Iranian foodstuffs starting September 29, 2010
Monday, September 6, 2010 at 7:19AM As promised, President Obama is using economic sanctions to pressure Iran into surrendering its nuclear ambitions. Imported Persian rugs and foods stuffs take the latest hit. On August 12, 2010, the Office of Foreign Assets Control issued this memo that explains the repeal of 31 CFR 560.534:
OFFICE OF FOREIGN ASSETS CONTROL
Guidance Regarding Import Prohibitions Imposed by the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions,
Accountability, and Divestment Act of 2010
On July 1, 2010, the President signed into law the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act of 2010 (the "Act"), which, among other things, prohibits the importation of Iranian-origin goods and services into the United States, effective 90 days after the Act's date of enactment. No exception to this prohibition may be made for the commercial importation of Iranian-origin goods described in section 560.534(a) of the Iranian Transactions Regulations (31 C.F.R. Part 560). The Office of Foreign Assets Control cannot authorize by general or specific license the commercial importation of such Iranian-origin goods (which include certain foodstuffs and carpets) on or after September 29, 2010. Consequently, the general license in section 560.534 of the ITR will be eliminated by September 29, 2010, and any such goods for commercial importation into the United States must be entered for consumption before that date.
