The OverRuled: BIS Export Controls Module has been updated with the following actions:
- 06 Oct 2023 - URAL Airlines JSC - Denial Order; No monetary penalty
On October 6, 2023, BIS renewed against URAL Airlines JSC ("Respondent") a Temporary Denial Order (TDO) issued on October 13, 2022, for a period of one year in relation to violations of the Export Administration Regulations ("Regulations"). Specifically, the Respondent was involved in exporting or reexporting 9A991.b aircraft, among many others, on flights into multiple destinations after March 2, 2022, including Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, without the required BIS authorization. Moreover, the continued operation of these aircraft by the Respondent, even on domestic routes within Russia and the company’s on-going need to acquire replacement parts and components, many of which are U.S.-origin, presents a high likelihood of imminent violations warranting imposition of a TDO ("TDO"). Since that time, BIS demonstrates that the Respondent has engaged in a pattern of repeated, ongoing and/or continuous apparent violations of the EAR. Therefore, renewal of the TDO is necessary in the public interest to prevent an imminent violation.
- 06 Oct 2023 - Aviastar – TU - Denial Order; No monetary penalty
On October 9, 2023, BIS renewed against Aviastar - TU ("Respondent") a Temporary Denial Order (TDO) for a period of 180 days in relation to violations of the Export Administration Regulations ("Regulations"). Specifically, the Respondent was involved in exporting or reexporting 9A991.b aircraft, among many others, on flights into Russia and China after March 2, 2022, without the required BIS authorization. Moreover, the continued operation of these aircraft by the Respondent, even on domestic routes within Russia and the company’s on-going need to acquire replacement parts and components, many of which are U.S.-origin, presents a high likelihood of imminent violations warranting imposition of a TDO. BIS further find that such apparent violations have been significant and deliberate. Therefore, issuance of the TDO is necessary in the public interest to prevent imminent violation of the Regulations and to give notice to companies and individuals in the United States and abroad that they should avoid dealing with the Respondent, in connection with export and reexport transactions involving items subject to the Regulations and in connection with any other activity subject to the Regulations.
