OFAC Issues Industry Reminder to File Blocked Property Report

The Office of Foreign Assets Control on July 1 issued a reminder to industry to file annual reports on blocked property by Sept. 30. Companies that are “holders of blocked property” must provide OFAC with a list of all blocked property held as of June 30. Property that was unblocked by an OFAC license or was previously blocked by a sanctions program that was terminated before June 30 does not need to be reported, OFAC said. The notice includes a link to the 2020 blocked property report spreadsheet and an updated guidance on filing blocked property reports.
