The US Treasury has designated eight countries requiring international boycott reporting, with Form 5713 filings mandatory for businesses operating in or connected to these nations.
The US Department of the Treasury issued a Federal Register notice on 19 May 2026, identifying countries that may mandate participation in international boycotts. The designated nations are Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Yemen.
Businesses and individuals with connections to these listed countries must submit Form 5713 (International Boycott Report), subject to certain exemptions.

It also extends to entities in other jurisdictions where participation in a boycott is required as a condition for doing business.
