ICR Compliance Policy

BEFORE contacting ICR, please be aware that we support the intent of the U.S. Patriot Act and stand against terrorism, money laundering, fraud, false buyers, false sellers and scams. ICR follows the International Chamber of Commerce Rules and Regulations. We will forward all documents, contacts and records from any person / business entity, to the investigative authorities of the United States of America and other countries, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Interpol, if we determine that the business proposal and/or documentation and information provided by any person / business entity are fraudulent, illegal, and/or in any way is used to negatively disrupt the flow of international trade.

ICR WILL NOT conduct business with countries that are currently sanctioned by the United States of America. The Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC), a bureau of the U.S. Department of the Treasury administers and enforces economic and trade sanctions based on U.S. foreign policy and national security goals against targeted foreign countries, regimes, business entities, and individuals identified as threats and / or considered terrorists, international narcotics traffickers, those engaged in activities related to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and other threats to the national security, foreign policy or economy of the United States. OFAC acts under Presidential national emergency powers, as well as authority granted by specific legislation, to impose controls on transactions and will freeze assets under U.S. jurisdiction.

Many of the sanctions are based on United Nations and other international mandates, are multilateral in scope, and involve close cooperation with allied governments. If you have any questions regarding sanctions imposed on specific entities named previously please access the U.S. Department of the Treasury's OFAC website for more information.

INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE (I.C.C.) WARNING

This is a very important message to anyone involved in the commodities industry on the new measures with respect to Buyers and Sellers conducting transactions.

From now on, if an ICPO, LOI, RWA, or BCL is issued and the document is not real, true and/or actually verifiably factual, the Seller will be able to inform the FBI, ICC, and INTERPOL. In addition, after an FCO is sent to the Buyer, there should be a formal answer to Seller from Buyer in a timely manner in accordance with the agreement between parties. If there is no response from the Buyer in a timely manner, the buying company will be reported to the FBI, ICC and INTERPOL. If this action is repeated by buyers, they too will also be reported for abuse of the NCND, LOI, ICPO, AND RWA OR BCL, FOR THIS IS NOW A FEDERAL OFFENSE.

It is important to transmit this to all clients that work with providers that are members of the ICC, FBI, and other international organizations. From this point forward, the international codes will be strictly enforced to exclude all intruders that send or transmit false information. Those who submit a false NCND/IMFPA, LOI, ICPO, RWA or BCL, or FCO, as well as FALSE PROOF OF PRODUCT (POP), FALSE PROOF OF FUNDS (POF) WILL BE CHARGED WITH A CRIME.

This ruling went into effect on November 15, 2008 after a meeting was held between the Federal Reserve, European Central Bank, Interpol, Federal Bureau of Investigation and Central Intelligence Agency.

The reason for this measurement is to protect the commodities industry which is a fundamental part of the world's economy.
