The U.S. government has revised its trade restrictions with Southern Sudan. Under the new Executive Order 13412 the Southern Sudan region is exempt from the trade restrictions involving U.S. goods and American citizens. There is still a trade restriction for transactions involving the Government of Sudan and any transactions relating to the petroleum or petrochemical industry, from E.O. 13067. Transactions destined for Southern Sudan that are processed through Khartoum, and shipments passing through the Port Sudan, require a license issued by Overseas Foreign Asset Control (OFAC).
