Best way is to write them a letter explaining what you want to do and ask if you need a license. More information you provide in the letter the quicker the response. Also, check out the OFAC website: www.treas.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac. Good luck. Sudan watcher in DC Grant at Fairbanks,

Nor can we permit others to do so in the comments section. DC Bar Rules require a retainer agreement to provide legal advice to a company or individual on a specific case involving that company or individual However, if you want to give me a call and give me some more information on the project, I may be able to have our pro bono committee approve our taking the case without a fee. My number is under the contact tab. Other lawyers who read this blog may also be willing to do the same, and if there are any of you, please speak up.

I will fly in from Nairobi on a charter. What paperwork and or lic. do we need to fly from Kenya to a remote village in southern Sudan and hand bore a well. we will fly in all of our supplies, ie pump,solar panels, well casing and plumbing supplies. There are no government officials in the area and we will be there only 10 days. I would hate to have this fail because our government or theirs dont have their ducks in a row. Anyone have some ideas? Im doing this out of pocket with a few corporate helpers.
