What constitutes “staff or employees” of an eligible organization?
This rule applies the term “staff and employees” to this provision of License Exception TMP instead of the term “employees” that applies to other tools of trade exports under License Exception TMP. Use of “staff and employees” allows the use of License Exception TMP for temporary tools of trade exports by persons traveling to Sudan at the direction of, or with the knowledge of, an organization eligible for this License Exception, even if that person is not an employee of that organization. For example, we would consider a health care worker traveling from the United States to Sudan to act as a volunteer providing medical care as part of the activities of an eligible organization to be “staff” under this rule, even if that person is not an employee of the eligible organization.
