Members are generally not permitted to list, buy, or sell items that originate from sanctioned areas. Etsy has no authority or control over the independent decision-making of these providers. For example, Etsy prohibits members from using their accounts while in certain geographic locations.
It is up to you to familiarize yourself with these restrictions.
This includes items that pre-date sanctions, since we have no way to verify when they were actually removed from the restricted location.
NextThis means that Etsy or anyone using our Services cannot take part in transactions that involve designated people, places, or items that originate from certain places, as determined by agencies like OFAC, in addition to trade restrictions imposed by related laws and regulations.
As a global company based in the US with operations in other countries, Etsy must comply with economic sanctions and trade restrictions, including, but not limited to, those implemented by the Office of Foreign Assets Control "OFAC" of the US Department of the Treasury. We may disable listings or cancel transactions that present a risk of violating this policy. By using any of our Services, you agree to this policy and our Terms of Use.
NextSaying no will not stop you from seeing Etsy ads or impact Etsy's own personalization technologies, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive.
In addition to complying with OFAC and applicable local laws, Etsy members should be aware that other countries may have their own trade restrictions and that certain items may not be allowed for export or import under international laws.

Personalized Advertising These are third party technologies used for things like interest based Etsy ads.
Etsy reserves the right to request that sellers provide additional information, disclose an item's country of origin in a listing, or take other steps to meet compliance obligations. If we have reason to believe you are operating your account from a sanctioned location, such as any of the places listed above, or are otherwise in violation of any economic sanction or trade restriction, we may suspend or terminate your use of our Services.
