Syria is subject to extensive US and international sanctions due to the ongoing conflict and the Assad government's actions, making most commercial trade with Syria prohibited for US persons. The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) administers the Syrian Sanctions Regulations, with very limited humanitarian exceptions. Trade professionals must conduct thorough due diligence and obtain appropriate licenses before any engagement with Syrian counterparts.
Generally no. Syria is subject to comprehensive US sanctions under the Syrian Sanctions Regulations administered by OFAC. Most transactions involving Syria, Syrian nationals, or Syrian entities are prohibited without a specific OFAC license, with limited exceptions for certain humanitarian goods.
OFAC general licenses permit certain exports of food, medicine, and medical devices to Syria for humanitarian purposes. Exporters must still comply with EAR and other applicable regulations and should review current OFAC guidance before proceeding.
Prior to the conflict, Syria's key exports included crude oil, refined petroleum, phosphates, cotton, and agricultural products. Its main imports were machinery, transport equipment, food, and chemicals.
