Compliance

Bourse & Bazaar is dedicated to the open exchange of information for consumption by a reading public. The publisher, BHB Emissary, and its partners take sanctions regulations seriously, and have pursued all reasonable measures in consultation with specialist counsel to ensure compliance with relevant American and European regulations. Our own commitment to compliance is part of a larger effort to help businesses and their agents to better achieve compliance through ready access to information about Iran.

The US Treasury Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) regulations that govern this initiative are reproduced below. We encourage you to take a look. 

• §560.538   Authorized transactions necessary and ordinarily incident to publishing.
• §560.519   Journalistic activities and establishment of news bureaus in Iran.
• §560.540   Exportation of certain services and software incident to Internet-based communications.
