Background

The Bureau of Industry and Security has issued orders suspending the export privileges of individuals convicted of the following crimes. As a result, neither these individuals nor anyone acting on their behalf may directly or indirectly participate in any way in any transaction involving any commodity, software, or technology exported or to be exported from the U.S. that is subject to the Export Administration Regulations. BIS is also revoking all export licenses in which these individuals had an interest at the time of their convictions.

For more information on export controls and compliance, please contact attorney Kristine Pirnia.
