14/11/2024
The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) recently released an updated edition of their enforcement report, “Don’t Let This Happen to You!”
This report highlights several notable cases of export control violations.
Here are some key export control violations Examples:
- Disruptive Technology Strike Force Case:
- This case resulted in a stand-alone administrative penalty, marking the first of its kind.
- It involved the unauthorised export of sensitive technology, which posed significant national security risks
- Illicit Russian Procurement Network:
- A criminal case was brought against a network that illegally procured U.S. technology for Russian military and intelligence services.
- This network was involved in smuggling export-controlled items out of the United States
- Assassination Plot:
- In a particularly alarming case, export-controlled items were smuggled out of the U.S. and used in an assassination plot.
- This case underscores the potential dangers of export control violations
- Semiconductor Wafer Manufacturing Company:
- An administrative case was filed against a company for unauthorised shipments to a party on the Entity List.
- This company faced significant penalties for failing to comply with export control regulations.
- Antiboycott Violations:
- Several cases involved violations of antiboycott regulations, which prohibit U.S. companies from participating in foreign boycotts not sanctioned by the U.S. government
The cases highlight the importance of adhering to export control regulations to protect national security and prevent sensitive technologies from falling into the wrong hands.
The BIS encourages companies to review these examples to understand better the types of conduct that can lead to severe penalties and to ensure compliance with all relevant regulations.
