1 The Regulations are currently codified in the
Code of Federal Regulations at 15 CFR Parts 730–
774 (2018). The Regulations originally issued under
the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended,

Industry and Security (‘‘BIS’’), U.S.
Department of Commerce, through its
Office of Export Enforcement (‘‘OEE’’),
has requested that I issue an order
temporarily denying, for a period of 180
days, the export privileges of Eastline
Technologies OU (‘‘Eastline’’), Adimir
OU (‘‘Adimir’’), Valery Kosmachov a/k/
a Valeri Kosmachov, a/k/a Valery
Kosmatsov, a/k/a Valery Kosmatshov, a/
k/a Valery Kosmachev (‘‘Kosmachov’’),
and Sergey Vetrov a/k/a Sergei Vetrov
(‘‘Vetrov’’) (collectively,
‘‘Respondents’’). OEE also has
requested, pursuant to Sections 766.23
and 766.24 of the Regulations, that this
order (‘‘the TDO’’) be applied to Real
Components, Ltd. (‘‘Real Components’’)
as a related person.
Eastline is located in Tallinn, Estonia,
and describes itself as a distributor of
electronic parts and components,
computer-related products, industrial
personal computers and embedded
systems, equipment for industrial
automation, and other state-of-the-art
solutions. The company holds an
Estonian business license and has two
addresses in Tallinn identified in
registration documents. Eastline is
operated primarily for the purpose of
procuring electronic components,
including those of U.S. origin.
Kosmachov and Vetrov were listed as
co-owners of Eastline until late 2016.
The company is currently listed as being
solely owned by Valeria Mihhailova,
whom OEE has reason to believe is
Kosmachov’s daughter. Evidence
presented by OEE indicates that both
Kosmachov and Vetrov remain active in
the business, as well as that Kosmachov
also has previously represented that
Eastline partners with Real
Components, which is located in
Moscow, Russia, is owned by Vetrov,
and is Eastline’s primary customer in
Russia.
which lapsed on August 21, 2001. 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 8, 2018 (83 FR
39871 (Aug. 13, 2018)), continued the Regulations
in full force and effect under the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. 1701,
et seq. (2012) (‘‘IEEPA’’). On August 13, 2018, the
President signed into law the John S. McCain
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
2019, which includes the Export Control Reform
Act of 2018, Title XVII, Subtitle B of Public Law
115–232 (‘‘ECRA’’). While Section 1766 of ECRA
repeals the provisions of the EAA (except for three
sections which are inapplicable here), Section 1768
of ECRA provides, in pertinent part, that all rules
and regulations that were made or issued under the
EAA, including as continued in effect pursuant to
IEEPA, and were in effect as of ECRA’s date of
enactment (August 13, 2018), shall continue in
effect according to their terms until modified,
superseded, set aside, or revoked through action
undertaken pursuant to the authority provided
under ECRA.

Kosmachov also has previously
identified himself as being the sole
owner of Adimir, an Estonian company.
Adimir shares the same business
addresses as Eastline. Adimir is known
to have previously been involved in the
transshipment and attempted
transshipment of U.S.-origin items to
Russia in apparent violation of the
Regulations, as described in a TDO
issued by BIS on March 19, 2015, as
amended on March 23, 2015 (the
‘‘March 2015 TDO’’). See 80 FR 15979
(March 26, 2015); 80 FR 16632 (March
30, 2015).2 During the investigation
leading up to the issuance of the March
2015 TDO, Adimir admitted to
transshipping U.S.-origin items to
Russia, but was not named as a
respondent, as Adimir was believed to
have ceased operating. See id.; see also
Section III., infra. However, as
discussed in Section IV., infra, recentlyobtained evidence indicates that Adimir
appears to have resumed operating, and
to again be involved in the procurement
of U.S.-origin items for transshipment to
Russian customers, primarily including
Real Components.
II. Legal Standard
Pursuant to Section 766.24 of the
Regulations, BIS may issue, on an ex
parte basis, an order temporarily
denying a respondent’s export privileges
upon a showing that the order is
necessary in the public interest to
prevent an ‘‘imminent violation’’ of the
Regulations. 15 CFR 766.24(a)–(b). ‘‘A
violation may be ‘imminent’ either in
time or degree of likelihood.’’ 15 CFR
766.24(b)(3). BIS may show ‘‘either that
a violation is about to occur, or that the
general circumstances of the matter
under investigation or case under
criminal or administrative charges
demonstrate a likelihood of future
violations.’’ Id. As to the likelihood of
future violations, BIS may show that the
violation under investigation or charge
‘‘is significant, deliberate, covert and/or
likely to occur again, rather than
technical or negligent[.]’’ Id. A ‘‘[l]ack of
information establishing the precise
time a violation may occur does not
preclude a finding that a violation is
imminent, so long as there is sufficient
reason to believe the likelihood of a
violation.’’ Id.
Pursuant to Sections 766.23 and
766.24, a TDO also may be made
applicable to other persons if BIS has
reason to believe that they are related to
a respondent and that applying the
2 The limited amendment on March 23, 2015, did
not relate to the discussion of Adimir. See 80 FR
16632, at note 2. The March 2015 TDO was
renewed for an additional 180 days on September
14, 2015. 80 FR 56439 (Sept. 18, 2015).
