Export Compliance & Sanctions

1. Scope

Stomaton is established in Türkiye and supplies natural stone to buyers in multiple jurisdictions. Stomaton's compliance posture reflects Turkish law and the principal international sanctions regimes. This page explains what Stomaton does, what the Buyer represents, and how compliance is handled in practice.

2. Applicable sanctions regimes

Stomaton applies, at a minimum, the following sanctions regimes: the consolidated list maintained by the United Nations Security Council; the European Union consolidated financial-sanctions list; the Consolidated List of Financial Sanctions Targets maintained by the United Kingdom (OFSI); the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List maintained by the United States (OFAC SDN); and measures taken by the Republic of Türkiye through MASAK and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

3. Buyer representations

By requesting a Quote, accepting a Quote, or countersigning a Proforma, the Buyer represents and warrants that:

• neither the Buyer nor any of its beneficial owners, directors, or officers is listed on any of the regimes set out in clause 2;
• the Buyer is not acting, directly or indirectly, for the benefit of any listed person;
• the ultimate destination and end-use of the Goods are lawful and not in a comprehensively sanctioned jurisdiction;
• the Buyer will not re-export the Goods, or any part of them, to any destination or person in breach of applicable sanctions or export-control law;
• the information provided by the Buyer for screening purposes is accurate and complete.

4. Screening

Stomaton screens Buyers and transactions against applicable sanctions lists at the Proforma stage. Where screening returns a positive or ambiguous match, Stomaton may request further information, decline the transaction, suspend delivery, or report the matter to competent authorities, in each case without liability to the Buyer.

5. Dual-use and export-licence status

Natural stone - including marble, travertine, onyx, limestone, and granite - is not a dual-use item under the EU Dual-Use Regulation and is not classified on the United States Commerce Control List (it is EAR99). Accordingly, no export licence is generally required. Certificates of origin and commercial invoices are issued per shipment and made available to the Buyer.

6. Cooperation with authorities

The Buyer shall cooperate in good faith with any inquiry from a competent authority concerning a transaction. Stomaton may suspend or cancel any transaction that, in its reasonable judgment, presents a sanctions, export-control, anti-money-laundering, or terrorism-financing risk.

7. Changes

Sanctions measures change frequently. Stomaton may update its screening procedures, buyer-information requirements, and contractual terms at any time to reflect the current compliance environment.
