The OverRuled: BIS Export Controls Module has been updated with the following actions:
- 21 Jan 2024 - Empresa de Transporte Aéreocargo del Sur, S.A. - Denial Order; No monetary penalty
On January 21, 2024, BIS renewed a Temporarily Denial Order (TDO) against Empresa de Transporte Aéreocargo del Sur, S.A. (a.k.a. "Aerocargo del Sur Transportation Company" and "EMTRASUR") (“Respondent”) originally issued on August 2, 2022, for a period of 180 days in relation to the information indicating that the Respondent is a subsidiary of Consorcio Venezolano de Industrias Aeronauticas Y Servicios Aereos, S.A., (a.k.a. CONVIASA), a Venezuelan state-owned airline that was added to the list of SDN on February 7, 2020. In or around October 2021, the Respondent engaged in conduct prohibited by a BIS-issued temporary denial order against Iranian airline Mahan Air (a.k.a. "Mahan Airlines" and "Mahan Airways") and the Regulations by acquiring custody and/or control from Mahan Air of a U.S.-origin Boeing 747 aircraft bearing manufacturer’s serial number 23413 (“MSN 23413”), an item subject to the EAR and classified under ECCN 9A991. In addition, the Respondent continued use of MSN 23413 on flights into Iran and Russia. The Respondent continued acting in violation of the Regulations and the TDO; that such violations have been significant, deliberate and covert; and that given the foregoing and the nature of the matters under investigation, there is a likelihood of imminent violations. Therefore, the renewal of the TDO is necessary in the public interest to prevent imminent violation.
