In response to the Turkish Ministry of Trade's suspension of trade in goods with Israel, the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) has issued an antiboycott advisory on Turkey. BIS' advisory confirms that the Turkish policy creates compliance risk for persons subject to U.S. antiboycott laws and regulations.

As we have discussed previously, the U.S. antiboycott regime requires U.S. persons, in certain circumstances, to refuse to participate in unsanctioned foreign boycotts. BIS' advisory reminds all U.S. persons, wherever located, that the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) prohibit certain actions that further or support an unsanctioned boycott.
