Sanctions may include:

  • prohibitions on Export-Import Bank assistance,
  • prohibitions on loans from U.S. financial institutions and other financial services,

  • prohibitions on property transactions,
  • prohibitions on exports and federal procurement,

The President shall include a sanctioned person on the list of specially designated nationals and blocked persons maintained by the Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control.

The President may, with prior congressional notice, waive the application of sanctions on a case-by-case basis if in the U.S. national security interests.
