Yes, you can send remittances to Somalia, as long as the transactions do not involve parties listed on OFAC’s Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List. For additional information on OFAC’s Somalia-related sanctions programs, visit here. To request additional information from OFAC, please call the OFAC hotline at (800) 540-6322 or (202) 622-2490.
