They provide a comprehensive summary of the relevant legislation and key provisions that impact on trade activities and financial transactions with Iran. The new FAQ's  can be accessed by clicking  here . Since 2010, the EU and US sanctions targeting Iran have consisted of a patchwork of legislative instruments; and as such it is not always straightforward to ascertain to what extent the carriage of a particular cargo may be affected and subject to one of these sanctions regimes. Furthermore, the US and EU legislation have to be read together when considering whether the carriage of a particular cargo involving Iran or transactions with Iranian entities are affected by sanctions.  The briefing note, produced by the Association, therefore attempts to summarise the relevant US and EU sanctions by reference to different types of cargo. The summary lists the currently applicable EU and US sanctions by reference to the following cargoes: 1) liquid cargo 2) urea, coal, graphite, raw or semi finished metals 3) other bulk cargoes 4) manufactured and dual purpose cargo In addition, the briefing note provides updated guidance on the following topics: 1) EU and US Iran Sanctions - where and to whom applicable? 2) Screening of counterparties 3) Restrictions on the use of port facilities in Iran 4) Bunkers originating in Iran 5) Trading with Iran and effect on P&I cov
