Order Denying Export Privileges
On October 9, 2009, in the U.S.
District Court, District of Minnesota,
Kok Tong Lim, a/k/a Thomas Lim,
(‘‘Lim’’) of Singapore, pled guilty to one
count of violating the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act (50
U.S.C. 1701 et seq. (2000)) (‘‘IEEPA’’).
Specifically, Lim conspired to illegally
export wound carbon fiber, an item
subject to the Regulations and
controlled under Export Control
Classification Numbers (‘‘ECCN’’) 1C010
and 1C210, to the China Academy of
Space Technology. Lim was sentenced
for a prison term of time served, which
amounted to one year imprisonment,
and ordered to serve two years of
supervised release.
Section 766.25 of the Export
Administration Regulations (‘‘EAR’’ or
‘‘Regulations’’) 1 provides, in pertinent
part, that ‘‘[t]he Director of the Office of
Exporter Services, in consultation with
the Director of the Office of Export
Enforcement, may deny the export
privileges of any person who has been
convicted of a violation of the [Export
Administration Act (‘‘EAA’’)], the EAR,
or any order, license or authorization
issued thereunder; any regulation,
license, or order issued under the
International Emergency Economic
Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701–1706); 18
U.S.C. 793, 794 or 798; section 4(b) of
the Internal Security Act of 1950 (50
U.S.C. 783(b)), or section 38 of the Arms
Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2778).’’ 15
CFR 766.25(a); see also Section 11(h) of
the EAA, 50 U.S.C. app. § 2410(h). The
denial of export privileges under this
1 The Regulations are currently codified in the
Code of Federal Regulations at 15 CFR parts 730–
774 (2011). The Regulations issued pursuant to the
Export Administration Act (50 U.S.C. app. §§ 2401–
2420 (2000)) (‘‘EAA’’). Since August 21, 2001, the
EAA has been in lapse and the President, through
Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 2001 (3 CFR,
2001 Comp. 783 (2002)), which has been extended
by successive Presidential Notices, the most recent
being that of August 12, 2011 (76 FR 50661 (August
16, 2011)), has continued the Regulations in effect
under the International Emergency Economic
Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq. (2000)).

provision may be for a period of up to
10 years from the date of the conviction.
15 CFR 766.25(d); see also 50 U.S.C.
app. § 2410(h). In addition, Section
750.8 of the Regulations states that the
Bureau of Industry and Security’s Office
of Exporter Services may revoke any
Bureau of Industry and Security (‘‘BIS’’)
licenses previously issued in which the
person had an interest in at the time of
his conviction.
I have received notice of Lim’s
conviction for violating IEEPA, and
have provided notices and opportunities
for Lim to make a written submission to
BIS, as provided in Section 766.25 of
the Regulations. I have not received a
submission from Lim. Based upon my
review and consultations with BIS’s
Office of Export Enforcement, including
its Director, and the facts available to
BIS, I have decided to deny Lim’s export
privileges under the Regulations for a
period of ten years from the date of
Lim’s conviction. I have also decided to
revoke all licenses issued pursuant to
the Act or Regulations in which Lim
had an interest at the time of his
conviction.
Accordingly, it is hereby
Ordered
I. Until October 9, 2019, Kok Tong
Lim, a/k/a Thomas Lim, with the last
known address at: Blk
258A,Compassvale Road #07–551,
Singapore 541258, and when acting for
or on behalf of Lim, his representatives,
assigns, agents or employees (the

indirectly, participate in any way in any

software or technology (hereinafter
collectively referred to as ‘‘item’’)
