SNSUC sanctions screen narrows the automatic origin-reject list to Iran alone; Iraq has been explicitly exempt since 2026-10-02. Any legacy material that lists Iran and Iraq together must be corrected, because the two are no longer on the same footing. For Russian Urals re-exports, the hard constraint is the G7 price cap of $60/bbl; breaching it triggers an embargo and a cut-off of financial services.

Operationally SNSUC runs a three-document check: invoice price, bill-of-lading value and insurance certificate must each trace back to a deal price at or below the cap, and any mismatch stops the flow. This line is not boilerplate — it is the gate that decides whether cargo actually moves. With Brent near $113, even if Urals discounts deepen, the invoice end must never cross $60.

The advice to trading desks is to embed the cap check inside the order-build step rather than wait for compliance to chase it after the fact. A cargo stopped at the gate costs far more in demurrage and letter-of-credit amendment than one extra validation line before the deal is booked.
