What is the OFAC compliance hotline?

OFAC operates a compliance hotline (1-800-540-6322) for questions about sanctions regulations, licensing, and compliance obligations. The hotline is staffed during business hours and can provide guidance on whether a specific transaction may be prohibited.

When to call

Call the OFAC hotline when you have a specific, concrete question about a transaction — not hypotheticals. OFAC staff can advise on whether a proposed transaction appears to be prohibited under current regulations, but their guidance is not a formal legal opinion or a license.
