(2) An ordinarily incident transaction, not explicitly authorized within the terms of the license, involving a debit to a blocked account or a transfer of blocked property.

(b) Transactions licensed pursuant to subpart E of this part and those transactions falling within the scope of paragraph (a) of this section are authorized even though they may involve transfers to or from an account of a financial institution whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to Sec. 537.201(a), provided that the account is not on the books of a financial institution that is a U.S. person, unless otherwise authorized.

Note to Sec. 537.404(b):
