Country Conditions for Mailing — Sudan
The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of the U.S. Department of Commerce administer sanctions that restrict the mailing of items to certain destinations and recipients, including a broad embargo on items to and from Sudan. Many shipments to Sudan also require the filing of information with the U.S. Census Bureau. Before mailing any items to Sudan, mailers should refer to IMM 510, 520, and 530 and to Publication 699, Special Requirements for Shipping Internationally, for additional information.
