• 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.

On March 15, 2016, the President issued E.O. 13722 pursuant to, inter alia, IEEPA, the NEA, the UNPA, and the North Korea Sanctions and Policy Enhancement Act of 2016 (22 U.S.C. § 9201 et seq.) (the NKSPEA), to take additional steps to address the national emergency declared in E.O. 13466 and expanded in E.O. 13551, in light of further North Korean nuclear and ballistic missile tests. E.O. 13722 was issued to ensure implementation of certain provisions of UNSCR 2270 of March 2, 2016 and the NKSPEA; it strengthened export and other trade restrictions against North Korea; and imposed a comprehensive blocking of the Government of North Korea and the Workers’ Party of Korea.
