OFAC — Office of Foreign Assets Control

Parent: U.S. Department of the Treasury. Domains in this note: ofac.treasury.gov, treasury.gov.

What they regulate

OFAC administers and enforces U.S. economic and trade sanctions. Sanctions screening is a compliance layer across finance, trade, and logistics — it is not a substitute for SEC, FMCSA, FMC, CBP, or state DOI licences. BrokerMafia does not certify OFAC clearance. Indexed ≠ endorsed.

Always prefer the live .gov site over a third-party mirror. Index ≠ endorsement.

How to verify

  1. OFAC home — U.S. sanctions programs and SDN list — screening context, not a broker licence register.
  2. Sanctions list search — Screen counterparties on official OFAC tools before funds or freight move.

Questions this page answers

Does an OFAC search licence a broker?

No. OFAC screening checks sanctions exposure. Licensing still sits on the relevant sector register (SEC, FMCSA, FMC, state DOI, etc.).

OFAC vs BIS?

OFAC = Treasury sanctions; BIS (Commerce) = export controls/EAR. Different tools and lists.

Is a BrokerMafia agency page an endorsement?

No. Index ≠ endorsement. BrokerMafia is not a government agency and does not issue licenses.
