BIS Denies Export Privileges for Illegal Exports to Lebanon

The Bureau of Industry and Security revoked Walid Chehade’s export privileges after he was convicted of illegally exporting guns and gun parts to Lebanon, a Sept. 21 order said. Chehade, of Westlake, Ohio, was convicted May 8, 2019, and sentenced to time served, a $5,000 fine and one year of supervised release. BIS revoked Chehade’s export privileges for seven years from the date of conviction, which means until May 8, 2026.
