Iran sanctions: steering a course through difficult waters
BIFA noticed the following item published in August by BIFA Associate Member Holman Fenwick Willan in its HFW Briefing.
President Trump’s announcement on 8 May 2018 that the US would withdraw from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action set the EU and US on divergent paths with respect to Iran. At the same time, as the US indicated that the US sanctions which had been suspended in January 2016 would be re-imposed, the EU made clear that it intended to uphold the terms of the Iran deal, including the sanctions relief.
This divergence between the EU and the US creates
a number of significant challenges for businesses, and this briefing sets out the issues that flow from the re- imposition of US sanctions, as well as recent measures by the EU to address the impact of US extra-territorial sanctions on EU businesses. If you have any dealings with shipments to or from
Iran, BIFA recommends that you study the changes carefully. The full text of the HFW Briefing can be read at
