BIS Imposes Civil Penalty on Nippon Express, USA For Violating Syria Embargo

The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) has entered into a settlement agreement with Nippon Express, USA, Inc., a freight forwarder and logistics company, for its participation in an unlicensed shipment to Syria in September 2004, five months after the U.S. imposed a comprehensive embargo on Syria. Specifically, BIS charged Nippon Express with providing the seismic equipment to a shipper for export to Syria without the export license. BIS also charged Nippon Express with making an incorrect statement on the Shipper’s Export Declaration (SED). Nippon stated on the SED that the export was authorized pursuant to "NLR" (no license required), when in fact a license was required (although the license would probably have been denied). Nippon Express agreed to settle this matter by paying a $17,000 fine. The charging letter, order and settlement agreement can be found at the following link: efoia.bis.doc.gov/ExportControlViolations/E943.pdf.
