“Bakhshish Singh, the general manager of marketing at Ambrane, an Indian consumer-technology vendor, said his company recently reached a distribution agreement with a partner in Dubai to sell goods in the Iranian market. But the possibility that Iran may face new sanctions under Mr. Trump, boosting the price of shipping his goods there, has given him pause. While Ambrane is sticking to its deal for now, Mr. Singh is waiting for more clarity on how Mr. Trump plans to approach the country.” (The Wall Street Journal, Trump Victory Slows Business Investment in Iran," 1/18/2017).

According to its Annual Report filed with the SEC for fiscal year 2019: "During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, export sales to Iran accounted for ¥1,954 million, or 0.03% of NSC’s total consolidated revenues for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. NSC sold steel pipes, tin plate, and steel plate to Iran for civilian use. We cannot exactly calculate the net profits associated with these transactions.

NSC conducted the above transactions in accordance with applicable law, and NSC believes that the above transaction does not subject to U.S. sanctions. Upon the reinstatement of sanctions by the United States in November 2018, NSC ceased these operations, and NSC does not currently intend to resume these transactions so long as sanctions imposed on Iran by the United States are in place."
