Lebanon is a small eastern Mediterranean country with a historically open, service-oriented economy, though it has faced severe economic and financial crisis since 2019. While Lebanon is not subject to comprehensive US sanctions, certain entities and individuals—particularly those linked to Hezbollah—are designated under OFAC programs. Trade professionals should conduct enhanced due diligence given Lebanon's banking instability and the risk of sanctions exposure.
Lebanon is not subject to comprehensive US sanctions, but OFAC maintains targeted designations against Hezbollah-linked individuals and entities. Traders must screen all Lebanese counterparts against the SDN list before transacting.
Lebanon's main imports include refined petroleum, gold, cars, pharmaceuticals, and food products. Exports are limited but include gold, jewelry, scrap metals, and agricultural products such as fruits and vegetables.
Lebanon's banking sector has been in severe crisis since 2019, with capital controls and currency restrictions in place. Traders should use letters of credit from internationally recognized banks and consult financial advisors familiar with Lebanon's current banking environment.
