OFAC Venezuela SDN matches

No entry on the OFAC Venezuela SDN list contains Microsoft as of the most recent OFAC scrape. Always re-verify with OFAC Sanctions Search before transacting.

SEC filings disclosing Venezuela items

We searched Microsoft's SEC filings (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, 20-F, 6-K) for the past two years and found no mention of Venezuela, PdVSA, CITGO, or Caracas. This is consistent with no material disclosed exposure. The full SEC full-text search is here: EDGAR full-text search for Microsoft .

Federal Register & news corpus mentions

No Federal Register notice or analyzed news article in our corpus references Microsoft in a Venezuela context. Search the live sanctions tracker or the daily briefing index for ad-hoc context.

Caracas Research analyst note

Microsoft maintains regional sales coverage for Venezuela via its Latin America operations but has no direct local subsidiary of consequence. Cloud and enterprise services are available subject to US export-control compliance.

US trade-restriction screening (BIS / Commerce)

OFAC sanctions are one of four major US restricted-party registers a counterparty needs to be screened against. The Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) maintains three more — the Entity List, the Denied Persons List, and the Unverified List — under the Export Administration Regulations (15 CFR Part 744). All four are consolidated by the International Trade Administration into the single Consolidated Screening List. The links below deep-search each register for Microsoft; a US-domiciled public company will not normally appear, but the official lookup is the only authoritative way to confirm.
