OFAC Sanctions List ServiceSpecially Designated Nationals (SDN) Lists
As part of its enforcement efforts, OFAC publishes a list of individuals and companies owned or controlled by, or acting for or on behalf of, targeted countries. It also lists individuals, groups, and entities, such as terrorists and narcotics traffickers designated under programs that are not country-specific. Collectively, such individuals and companies are called “Specially Designated Nationals” or “SDNs”. Their assets are blocked, and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from dealing with them.
