Title 3— 

The President 

Executive Order 13810 of September 20, 2017 

Imposing Additional Sanctions With Respect to North Korea 

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the 

laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency 

Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), the United Nations Participation Act 

of 1945 (22 U.S.C. 287c) (UNPA), section 1 of title II of Public Law 65– 

24, ch. 30, June 15, 1917, as amended (50 U.S.C. 191), sections 212(f) 

and 215(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (8 U.S.C. 1182(f) 

and 1185(a)), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code; and in view 

of United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 2321 of November 

30, 2016, UNSCR 2356 of June 2, 2017, UNSCR 2371 of August 5, 2017, 

and UNSCR 2375 of September 11, 2017, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President 

of the United States of America, find that: 

The provocative, destabilizing, and repressive actions and policies of the 

Government of North Korea, including its intercontinental ballistic missile 

launches of July 3 and July 28, 2017, and its nuclear test of September 

2, 2017, each of which violated its obligations under numerous UNSCRs 

and contravened its commitments under the September 19, 2005, Joint Statement of the Six-Party Talks; its commission of serious human rights abuses; 

and its use of funds generated through international trade to support its 

nuclear and missile programs and weapons proliferation, constitute a continuing threat to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the 

United States, and a disturbance of the international relations of the United 

States. 

In order to take further steps with respect to the national emergency declared 

in Executive Order 13466 of June 26, 2008, as modified in scope by and 

relied upon for additional steps in subsequent Executive Orders, I hereby 

find, determine, and order: 

Section 1. (a) All property and interests in property that are in the United 

States, that hereafter come within the United States, or that are or hereafter 

come within the possession or control of any United States person of the 

following persons are blocked and may not be transferred, paid, exported, 

withdrawn, or otherwise dealt in: 

Any person determined by the Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation 

with the Secretary of State: 

(i) to operate in the construction, energy, financial services, fishing, information technology, manufacturing, medical, mining, textiles, or transportation industries in North Korea; 

(ii) to own, control, or operate any port in North Korea, including any 

seaport, airport, or land port of entry; 

(iii) to have engaged in at least one significant importation from or exportation to North Korea of any goods, services, or technology; 

(iv) to be a North Korean person, including a North Korean person that

(vi) to be owned or controlled by, or to have acted or purported to 

act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, any person whose property

specified in section 203(b)(2) of IEEPA (50 U.S.C. 1702(b)(2)) by, to, or 

for the benefit of any person whose property and interests in property 

are blocked pursuant to subsection (a) of this section would seriously impair 

my ability to deal with the national emergency declared in Executive Order 

13466, and I hereby prohibit such donations as provided by subsection 

(a) of this section. 

(d) The prohibitions in subsection (a) of this section include:

landed at a place in North Korea may land at a place in the United States 

within 180 days after departure from North Korea. 

(b) No vessel in which a foreign person has an interest that has called 

at a port in North Korea within the previous 180 days, and no vessel 

in which a foreign person has an interest that has engaged in a shipto-ship transfer with such a vessel within the previous 180 days, may 

call at a port in the United States. 

(c) The prohibitions in subsections (a) and (b) of this section apply except 

to the extent provided by statutes, or in regulations, orders, directives, 

or licenses that may be issued pursuant to this order, and notwithstanding 

any contract entered into or any license or permit granted before the effective 

date of this order. 

Sec. 3. (a) All funds that are in the United States, that hereafter come 

within the United States, or that are or hereafter come within the possession 

or control of any United States person and that originate from, are destined 

for, or pass through a foreign bank account that has been determined by 

the Secretary of the Treasury to be owned or controlled by a North Korean 

person, or to have been used to transfer funds in which any North Korean 

person has an interest, are blocked and may not be transferred, paid, exported, 

withdrawn, or otherwise dealt in. 

(b) No United States person, wherever located, may approve, finance, 

facilitate, or guarantee a transaction by a foreign person where the transaction 

by that foreign person would be prohibited by subsection (a) of this section 

if performed by a United States person or within the United States. 

(c) The prohibitions in subsections (a) and (b) of this section apply except 

to the extent provided by statutes, or in regulations, orders, directives, 

or licenses that may be issued pursuant to this order, and notwithstanding 

any contract entered into or any license or permit granted before the effective 

date of this order. 

Sec. 4. (a) The Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary 

of State, 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, on or after the effective date of

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 184 / Monday, September 25, 2017 / Presidential Documents 44707 

(i) knowingly conducted or facilitated any significant transaction on behalf 

of any person whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to Executive Order 13551 of August 30, 2010, Executive Order 13687 

of January 2, 2015, Executive Order 13722 of March 15, 2016, or this 

order, or of any person whose property and interests in property are 

blocked pursuant to Executive Order 13382 in connection with North 

Korea-related activities; or 

(ii) knowingly conducted or facilitated any significant transaction in connection with trade with North Korea. 

(b) With respect to any foreign financial institution determined by the 

Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary of State, in 

accordance with this section to meet the criteria set forth in subsection 

(a)(i) or (a)(ii) of this section, the Secretary of the Treasury may: 

(i) prohibit the opening and prohibit or impose strict conditions on the 

maintenance of correspondent accounts or payable-through accounts in 

the United States; or 

(ii) block all property and interests in property that are in the United 

States, that hereafter come within the United States, or that are or hereafter 

come within the possession or control of any United States person of 

such foreign financial institution, and provide that such property and 

interests in property may not be transferred, paid, exported, withdrawn, 

or otherwise dealt in. 

(c) The prohibitions in subsection (b) of this section apply except to 

the extent provided by statutes, or in regulations, orders, directives, or 

licenses that may be issued pursuant to this order, and notwithstanding 

any contract entered into or any license or permit granted before the effective 

date of this order. 

(d) I hereby determine that the making of donations of the types of 

articles specified in section 203(b)(2) of IEEPA (50 U.S.C. 1702(b)(2)) by, 

to, or for the benefit of any person whose property and interests in property 

are blocked pursuant to subsection (b)(ii) of this section would seriously 

impair my ability to deal with the national emergency declared in Executive 

Order 13466, and I hereby prohibit such donations as provided by subsection 

(b)(ii) of this section. 

(e) The prohibitions in subsection (b)(ii) of this section include: 

(i) the making of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services 

by, to, or for the benefit of any person whose property and interests 

in property are blocked pursuant to subsection (b)(ii) of this section; 

and 

(ii) the receipt of any contribution or provision of funds, goods, or services 

from any such person. 

Sec. 5. The unrestricted immigrant and nonimmigrant entry into the United 

States of aliens determined to meet one or more of the criteria in section 

1(a) of this order would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, 

and the entry of such persons into the United States, as immigrants or 

nonimmigrants, is therefore hereby suspended. Such persons shall be treated 

as persons covered by section 1 of Proclamation 8693 of July 24, 2011 

(Suspension of Entry of Aliens Subject to United Nations Security Council 

Travel Bans and International Emergency Economic Powers Act Sanctions). 

Sec. 6. (a) Any transaction that evades or avoids, has the purpose of evading 

or avoiding, causes a violation of, or attempts to violate any of the prohibitions set forth in this order is prohibited. 

(b) Any conspiracy formed to violate any of the prohibitions set forth 

in this order is prohibited. 

Sec. 7. Nothing in this order shall prohibit transactions for the conduct 

of the official business of the Federal Government or the United Nations 

(including its specialized agencies, programmes, funds, and related organizations) by employees, grantees, or contractors thereof.

Sec. 8. For the purposes of this order: 

(a) the term ‘‘person’’ means an individual or entity; 

(b) the term ‘‘entity’’ means a partnership, association, trust, joint venture, 

corporation, group, subgroup, or other organization; 

(c) the term ‘‘United States person’’ means any United States citizen, 

permanent resident alien, entity organized under the laws of the United 

States or any jurisdiction within the United States (including foreign 

branches), or any person in the United States; 

(d) the term ‘‘North Korean person’’ means any North Korean citizen, 

North Korean permanent resident alien, or entity organized under the laws 

of North Korea or any jurisdiction within North Korea (including foreign 

branches). For the purposes of section 1 of this order, the term ‘‘North 

Korean person’’ shall not include any United States citizen, any permanent 

resident alien of the United States, any alien lawfully admitted to the United 

States, or any alien holding a valid United States visa; 

(e) the term ‘‘foreign financial institution’’ means any foreign entity that 

is engaged in the business of accepting deposits, making, granting, transferring, holding, or brokering loans or credits, or purchasing or selling foreign 

exchange, securities, commodity futures or options, or procuring purchasers 

and sellers thereof, as principal or agent. The term includes, among other 

entities, depository institutions; banks; savings banks; money service businesses; trust companies; securities brokers and dealers; commodity futures 

and options brokers and dealers; forward contract and foreign exchange 

merchants; securities and commodities exchanges; clearing corporations; investment companies; employee benefit plans; dealers in precious metals, 

stones, or jewels; and holding companies, affiliates, or subsidiaries of any 

of the foregoing. The term does not include the international financial institutions identified in 22 U.S.C. 262r(c)(2), the International Fund for Agricultural 

Development, the North American Development Bank, or any other international financial institution so notified by the Secretary of the Treasury; 

and 

(f) the term ‘‘knowingly,’’ with respect to conduct, a circumstance, or 

a result, means that a person has actual knowledge, or should have known, 

of the conduct, the circumstance, or the result. 

Sec. 9. For those persons whose property and interests in property are 

blocked pursuant to this order who might have a constitutional presence 

in the United States, I find that because of the ability to transfer funds 

or other assets instantaneously, prior notice to such persons of measures 

to be taken pursuant to this order would render those measures ineffectual. 

I therefore determine that for these measures to be effective in addressing 

the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13466, there need be 

no prior notice of a listing or determination made pursuant to this order. 

Sec. 10. The Secretary of the Treasury, in consultation with the Secretary 

of State, is hereby authorized to take such actions, including adopting rules 

and regulations, and to employ all powers granted to me by IEEPA and 

UNPA as may be necessary to implement this order. The Secretary of the 

Treasury may, consistent with applicable law, redelegate any of these functions to other officers and agencies of the United States. All agencies shall 

take all appropriate measures within their authority to implement this order. 

Sec. 11. This order is effective at 12:01 a.m., Eastern Daylight Time, September 21, 2017.

Sec. 12. This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right 

or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by 

any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, 

its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.
