Katun Export Policy

Katun's policy on the export and re-export of products to destinations or countries that are subject to U.S. embargoes or sanctions

Unless authorized by the United States Government, Katun Corporation prohibits the export and reexport of Katun products, and the provision of Katun services, to destinations subject to United States embargoes or trade sanctions.

Government policy is to deny requests for such export or reexport authorization in almost all cases.

As of November 2006, the following countries are subject to United States trade embargoes or sanctions:

• Cuba
• Iran
• North Korea
• Syria
• Sudan

The comprehensive embargo on exports to Iraq has been lifted. However, Katun products may require an export license to be shipped to Iraq in certain circumstances.

The list of embargoed or sanctioned countries is subject to change. Current information on sanctioned countries is available from the Department of the Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Controls (OFAC). See www.ustreas.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac/.

Effective August 31, 2006, Libya was removed from the list of embargoed destinations. Libya is now a Tier 3 country for purposes of hardware exports, and is in Country Group D1 for technical data control purposes. A license is required for the reexport of items which were unlawfully shipped to Libya while the export embargo was in effect. The Commerce Department reviews applications for such licenses on a case-by-case basis and generally provides favorable consideration for civilian end uses.

Additional information concerning export licensing procedures is available from the Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security. See www.bis.doc.gov.

Therefore, if you or your business is located in one of the embargoed countries (or you are a national of such country), please be advised that Katun and its related entities are prohibited from doing business with you.
