Background 

On April 15, 2021, the President, 

invoking the authority of, inter alia, the 

International Emergency Economic 

Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) 

(IEEPA), issued Executive Order (E.O.) 

14024, ‘‘Blocking Property With Respect 

To Specified Harmful Foreign Activities 

of the Government of the Russian 

Federation’’ (86 FR 20249, April 19, 

2022). 

On December 22, 2023, the President, 

invoking the authority of, inter alia, 

IEEPA, issued E.O. 14114, ‘‘Taking 

Additional Steps With Respect to the 

Russian Federation’s Harmful 

Activities’’ (88 FR 89271, December 26, 

2023). Among other things, E.O. 14114 

amends E.O. 14024 to redesignate 

section 11 as section 12 and add a new 

section 11. Section 11(a) of E.O. 14024, 

as amended, provides that the Secretary 

of the Treasury, in consultation with the 

Secretary of State, and with respect to 

subsection (a)(ii) of this section, in 

consultation with the Secretary of State 

and the Secretary of Commerce, is 

hereby authorized to impose on a 

foreign financial institution the 

sanctions described in subsection (b) of 

this section, upon determining that the 

foreign financial institution has met the 

criteria in section 11(a)(i) or section 

11(a)(ii). Section 11(a)(ii) of E.O. 14024, 

as amended, authorizes the imposition 

of sanctions on a foreign financial 

institution that has conducted or 

facilitated any significant transaction or 

transactions, or provided any service, 

involving Russia’s military-industrial 

base, including the sale, supply, or 

transfer, directly or indirectly, to the 

Russian Federation of any item or class 

of items as may be determined by the 

Secretary of the Treasury, in 

consultation with the Secretary of State

E.O. 14114 also amends E.O. 14068 by 

striking subsection (a)(i) of section 1 of 

E.O. 14068 and inserting a new 

subsection (a)(i). Subsection (a)(i)(A) of 

E.O. 14068, as amended, provides that 

the importation and entry into the 

United States, including importation for 

admission into a foreign trade zone 

located in the United States, of the 

following products of Russian 

Federation origin: fish, seafood, and 

preparations thereof; alcoholic 

beverages; non-industrial diamonds; 

and any other products of Russian 

Federation origin, as may be determined 

by the Secretary of the Treasury, in 

consultation with the Secretary of State 

and the Secretary of Commerce is 

prohibited. 

Subsection (a)(i)(B) of E.O. 14068, as 

amended, provides that the importation 

and entry into the United States, 

including importation for admission 

into a foreign trade zone located in the 

United States, of categories of any of the 

following products as may be 

determined by the Secretary of the 

Treasury, in consultation with the 

Secretary of State, the Secretary of 

Commerce, and the Secretary of 

Homeland Security, that were mined, 

extracted, produced, or manufactured 

wholly or in part in the Russian 

Federation, or harvested in waters under 

the jurisdiction of the Russian 

Federation or by Russia-flagged vessels, 

notwithstanding whether such products 

have been incorporated or substantially 

transformed into other products outside 

of the Russian Federation: fish, seafood, 

and preparations thereof; diamonds; and 

any other such products as may be 

determined by the Secretary of the 

Treasury, in consultation with the

identifying certain items or classes of 

items pursuant to section 11(a)(ii) of 

E.O.14024, as amended by E.O. 14114. 

Also on December 22, 2023, pursuant to 

delegated authority, the Director of 

OFAC, in consultation with the 

Department of State, the Department of 

Commerce, and the Department of 

Homeland Security, issued a

1(a)(i)(B), 1(b), and 5 of E.O. 14068 to 

determine that the prohibitions in 

section 1(a)(i)(B) of E.O. 14068 shall

seafood, and preparations thereof. 

Additionally, on December 22, 2023, the 

Director of OFAC, in consultation with 

the Department of State and the 

Department of Commerce, re-issued an 

amended determination pursuant to 

sections 1(a)(i)(A), 1(b), and 5 of E.O.
