Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List

The Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List is a record maintained by the U.S. Treasury Department that identifies people, companies, and organizations involved in activities like terrorism, drug trafficking, or other crimes. Individuals and entities on this list are subject to financial sanctions, meaning U.S. citizens cannot do business with them or access their assets. The SDN List helps the U.S. government restrict the financial resources of those deemed a threat to national or international security, thus promoting global stability and safety.
