Government policy is to deny requests for such authorization in almost all cases.

The following countries are embargoed per United States export control regulations. If exporting or transferring any Sun product, partners are responsible for ensuring compete compliance with import and export law, and verifying that they do not sell to any country or individual on published embargo lists.

Cuba
Iran
Myanmar (Burma) - See note below
North Korea (Democratic People's Republic of Korea)
Sudan
Syria

Libya and Iraq have been removed from the US list of Embargoed Countries. They are now Tier 3 Countries for hardware control purposes, and are in Country Group D:1 (Proscribed).

Special additional restrictions continue to apply to in-country transfers within Iraq of items controlled for national security purposes (e.g. high-performance systems at .75 APP and above), and for some encryption items (e.g. those classified 5A002 and 5D002).

As a matter of corporate policy, Sun refrains from engaging in business with Burma. Although current U.S. regulations do not mandate complete embargo treatment, certain cities and municipalities in the US and elsewhere that are customers of Sun prohibit contracting with companies doing business in Burma. Sun has signed statements agreeing to comply with this prohibition.
