Commerce Revokes Export Privileges for IEEPA Violations

The Department of Commerce denied a man export privileges after he was convicted of violating the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, Commerce said in a notice. Mojtaba Biria illegally exported gas turbine parts to Germany “with knowledge” the parts would be re-exports to Iran. Biria was convicted Aug. 14, 2019, and sentenced to time served and a $5,000 fine, the notice said. Commerce revoked Biria’s export privileges for 10 years from his date of conviction.
