United States views on international law (based on the document “Digest of U.S. Practice in International Law”): On April 18, 2011, President Obama issued Executive Order 13570, “Prohibiting Certain Transactions With Respect to North Korea” (“E.O. 13570”). Acting pursuant to the Constitution and U.S. laws including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”), the National Emergencies Act (“NEA”) and § 5 of the United Nations Participation Act of 1945, as amended (“UNPA”), the President took this step to address the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13466 of June 26, 2008 and expanded in Executive Order 13551 of August 30, 2010 and to ensure implementation of the import restrictions contained in United Nations Security Council Resolutions 1718 (2006) and 1874 (2009), and complement the import restrictions provided for in the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2751 et seq.). see this world legal encyclopedia in relation with the year 2010 at 624-28 for background on E.O. 13551. Section 1 of E.O. 13570 prohibits imports from North Korea:

Section 1. Except to the extent provided in statutes or in licenses, regulations, orders, or directives that may be issued pursuant to this order, and notwithstanding any contract entered into or any license or permit granted prior to the date of this order, the importation into the United States, directly or indirectly, of any goods, services, or technology from North Korea is prohibited.

Pursuant to E.O. 13570, goods, services, and technology from North Korea may not be imported into the United States, directly or indirectly, without a license from OFAC. This broad prohibition applies to goods, services, and technology from North Korea that are used as components of finished products of, or substantially transformed in, a third country.

On June 20, 2011, OFAC amended the North Korea Sanctions Regulations, 31 C.F.R. Part 510, (“NKSR”) to implement E.O. 13570. 76 Fed. Reg 35,740 (June 20, 2011). The notice in the Federal Register conveyed OFAC's intention to supplement these initial regulations with more comprehensive ones containing “additional interpretive and definitional guidance and additional general licenses and statements of licensing policy.”
