SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Pursuant to Section 307(b) of the Chemical and Biological Weapons Control and Warfare Elimination Act of 1991(22 U.S.C. 5605(b)), on June 23, 2026 the Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security decided to impose additional sanctions on Sudan. As a result, the following additional sanctions are hereby imposed:

1. Multilateral Development Bank Assistance: The United States Government shall oppose, in accordance with Section 701 of the International Financial Institutions Act (22 U.S.C. 262d), the extension of any loan or financial or technical assistance to Sudan.

The Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security has determined that it is essential to the national security interests of the United States to waive the application of this sanction on loans or financial or technical assistance to Sudan that serve the basic human needs of its citizens.

2. Further Export Restrictions: The authorities of section 6 of the Export Administration Act of 1979 shall be used to prohibit exports to Sudan of all other goods and technology (excluding food and other agricultural commodities and products).

The Under Secretary for Arms Control and International Security has determined that it is essential to the national security interests of the United States to waive the application of this sanction with respect to items not on the Commerce Control List (CCL). The restrictions are also partially waived in order to allow the authorization of exports or re-exports of goods or technology on the Commerce Control List (CCL) to Sudan in the following categories:

License Exceptions: Exports and re-exports of goods or technology on the CCL may be authorized under License Exceptions CCD, GOV, ENC, BAG, TMP, RPL, TSU and ACE, as described in 15 CFR part 740.

Safety of Flight: Exports and re-exports of goods or technology on the CCL may be authorized pursuant to new licenses when necessary for the safety of flight of civil fixed-wing passenger aviation, provided that such licenses shall be issued consistent with export licensing policy for Sudan prior to the date of the determination.

Deemed Exports/Re-Exports: Exports and re-exports of goods or technology on the CCL may be authorized pursuant to new licenses for deemed exports and re-exports to Sudanese nationals, provided that such licenses shall be issued consistent with export licensing policy for Sudan prior to the date of the determination.

Wholly-Owned U.S. and Other Foreign Subsidiaries: Exports and re-exports of goods or technology on the CCL may be authorized pursuant to new licenses for exports and re-exports to wholly-owned subsidiaries of U.S. and foreign companies in Sudan, provided that such licenses shall be issued consistent with export licensing policy for Sudan prior to the date of the determination.

Licenses for all other exports, reexports, or transfers (in-country) of items on the CCL to Sudan will be reviewed under a “presumption of denial.”

National security-sensitive goods and technology exports to Sudan remain subject to the sanctions under section 307(a)(5) of the Act as described in the June 27, 2025 Federal Register notice. Consistent with the above, all other licenses for the export, reexport, and transfer (in-country) of national security-sensitive goods and technology will be reviewed under a “presumption of denial.”

3. Action Regarding Aviation: The Department of Transportation shall take all steps necessary to suspend the authority of foreign air carriers owned or controlled by the Government of Sudan to engage in foreign air transportation to or from the United States.

These measures shall be implemented by the responsible departments and agencies of the United States government and will remain in place for at least one year and until further notice.
