Embargoes and sanctions prohibit all transactions with an entity, trading of certain commodities, or supplying critical goods. They may also require positive actions like freezing assets or enforcing travel bans.
Embargoes refer to a complete ban on all activity whereas sanctions are usually limited in scope. Violating embargoes and sanctions can result in fines as well as criminal charges.
