BIS Suspends Export Privileges for Illegal Ammunition Smuggling to Mexico

The Bureau of Industry and Security suspended the export privileges of Samantha Coronado, an inmate at a Texas federal medical center who was convicted June 23, 2022, of smuggling 730 rounds of “CBC .50 caliber ammunition” from the U.S. to Mexico. Coronado was sentenced to 46 months of “confinement,” three years of supervised release and a $100 assessment, and BIS revoked her export privileges for seven years from the conviction date.
