The U.S. Department of Commerce today announced that
Alison Transport, Inc. (Alison), a shipper’s export agent located in
Oceanside, New York, has agreed to pay a $22,500 civil penalty to settle
allegations that it violated the antiboycott provisions of the Export
Administration Regulations (EAR).
The Commerce Department’s Bureau
of Industry and Security (BIS) alleged that on three occasions, in connection
with transactions involving the sale and transfer of goods from the United
States to Oman, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia, Alison furnished prohibited
information about another company’s business relationships in violation of
the EAR. BIS also alleged that Alison failed to report its receipt of a request
from Oman to provide a certificate that the aircraft used in the transactions
were not blacklisted by the Arab League Boycott Committee.
The
antiboycott provisions of the EAR prohibit U.S. persons from complying with
certain requirements of unsanctioned foreign boycotts, including furnishing
information about a business relationship with another person who is known or
believed to be restricted from having a business relationship with or in a
boycotting country. In addition, the EAR requires that persons report their
receipt of certain boycott requests to the Department of Commerce. |
