Effective July 1, 2025 the U.S. Government ended comprehensive sanctions on Syria by lifting certain blocks and authorizing some previously prohibited transactions in support of the Syrian people and their new government as they rebuild their country.
If you are interested in pursuing activities with Syria, please contact our office at [email protected] so we can provide guidance regarding permissible activities.
While this change provides the potential for increased collaborations with Syria, there remain continued prohibitions in place targeting individuals and entities linked to the previous regime, terrorist organizations, and human rights abusers as well as a continuation of stringent controls on exports and reexports to Syria. Due to these factors transacting with Syria remains high-risk and certain activities continue to be impermissible.
Our office will continue to monitor the federal government’s response to transactions with Syria and can provide you with the most up-to-date guidance and support.
