Don’t commit any sins (CINSS)

If you are a U.S. company or a company doing business in the U.S. – Don’t commit any CINSS by doing business with: Cuba / Crimean region of Ukraine, Iran, North Korea, Syria, or Sudan

CINSS sounds like a sins and it is a great way to remember the U.S. embargoed countries. Regardless of your company’s location and/or subsidiary location, it is a no-no to do business with the CINSS countries. Also don’t forget to check all of the BIS and OFAC databases as well, AKA Denied Party List databases.
