Question

What does it mean when a country is rated "Restricted"?

Answer

When a country is rated "Restricted", it means there are restrictions on what business can be done with that country. It is a very high risk to do business with those countries and it is recommended to conduct screening on any transactions (via appropriate data services) to prevent sanctions breaches.
