The OverRuled: BIS Export Controls Module has been updated with the following actions:

  • 28 Aug 2023 - Arthur Petrov, Astrafteros Technokosmos LTD, Zhanna Soldatenkova, Ultra Trade Service LLC, Ruslan Almetov, Juzhoi Electronic LLC, LLC Electrocom VPK VPK/OOO/LLC/SPB - Denial Order; No monetary penalty

    On August 28, 2023, BIS issued a Temporary Denial Order against Arthur Petrov (a.k.a. "Artur Petrov"), Astrafteros Technokosmos LTD, Zhanna Soldatenkova, Ultra Trade Service LLC, Ruslan Almetov, Juzhoi Electronic LLC, and LLC Electrocom VPK VPK/OOO/LLC/SPB ("Respondents") for a period of 180 days in relation to information indicating that the order is necessary in the public interest to prevent an “imminent violation” of the Regulations. 15 C.F.R. §§ 766.24(b)(1) and 766.24(d). Specifically, evidence shows that Arthur Petrov, Zhanna Soldatenkova, and Ruslan Almetov have conspired to violate and evade export controls to procure large amounts of U.S.-manufactured, export-controlled electronics components on behalf of Electrocom, using Astrafteros, Ultra Trade Service, and Juzhoi as pass-throughs to conceal the actual end user and end-destination of the exports.
