• https://ofac.treasury.gov/faqs/topic/1556 460. Can U.S. persons do business with entities in North Korea? No. Unless authorized pursuant to a general or specific license from OFAC and/or BIS, Executive Order (E.O.) 13722 prohibits new investment in North Korea by a U.S. person and the exportation or reexportation, from the United States, or by a U.S. person, of any goods, services, or technology to North Korea. E.O. 13810 (“Imposing Additional Sanctions with Respect to North Korea”) does not modify any of those prohibitions.

The United States imposed a near total economic embargo on the DPRK in 1950 after the DPRK attacked the South, sparking the Korean war. Over the following years, some U.S. sanctions were eased, but others were imposed. Executive Order 13810 was issued on September 21, 2017, in the wake of the DPRK’s September 2017 nuclear test and multiple intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) tests. Combined with previous executive orders, statutory sanctions provisions, and other restrictions on the DPRK, these constitute some of the most restrictive sanctions related to the DPRK to date.
