BIS issued a Final Decision and Order dismissing an appeal filed by Hans De Geetere and Knokke-Heist Support Corporation Management (“Respondents”) related to a Temporary Denial Order (“TDO”) issued by BIS. Specifically, on August 26, 2022, BIS issued a TDO against Respondents because, according to the TDO, Respondents acquired or attempted to acquire items subject to the Export Administration Regulations on behalf of prohibited end-users or for prohibited end uses. The TDO expired on February 22, 2023, and BIS did not seek renewal of the TDO. On February 11, 2026, Respondents filed an appeal of the TDO. Following litigation, Administrative Law Judge Timothy G. Stueve issued a decision concluding that the appeal was moot given that the TDO expired in February 2023 and recommending dismissal of the appeal. BIS accepted Judge Stueve’s recommended decision and dismissed the appeal.
