On May 31, 2019, in the U.S. District
Court for the Middle District of Florida,
Fahad Saleem Kharbey (‘‘Kharbey’’),
was convicted of violating 18 U.S.C.
554(a). Specifically, Kharbey was
convicted of fraudulently and
knowingly exporting firearms and
magazines, designated as defense
articles on the United States Munitions
List, from the United States to Dubai,
United Arab Emirates, without having
first obtained a license or other approval
from the United Department of State, in
violation of 18 U.S.C. 554. Kharbey was
sentenced to 36 months in prison,
supervised release for three years, a
$200 special assessment and restitution
of $755,281.13.
Pursuant to Section 1760(e) of the
Export Control Reform Act (‘‘ECRA’’),1
the export privileges of any person who
has been convicted of certain offenses,
including, but not limited to, 18 U.S.C.
554(a), may be denied for a period of up
to ten (10) years from the date of his/her
conviction. 50 U.S.C. 4819(e) (Prior
Convictions). In addition, any Bureau of
Industry and Security (BIS) licenses or
other authorizations issued under
ECRA, in which the person had an
interest at the time of the conviction,
may be revoked. Id.
1 ECRA was enacted as part of the John S. McCain
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
2019, and as amended is codified at 50 U.S.C.
4801–4852. Kharbey’s conviction post-dates ECRA’s
enactment on August 13, 2018.

BIS received notice of Kharbey’s
conviction for violating 18 U.S.C.
554(a), and has provided notice and
opportunity for Kharbey to make a
written submission to BIS, as provided
in Section 766.25 of the Export
Administration Regulations (‘‘EAR’’ or
the ‘‘Regulations’’). 15 CFR 766.25.2 BIS
has not received a written submission
from Kharbey.
Based upon my review of the record
and consultations with BIS’s Office of
Exporter Services, including its
Director, and the facts available to BIS,
I have decided to deny Kharbey’s export
privileges under the Regulations for a
period of seven years from the date of
Kharbey’s conviction. The Office of
Exporter Services has also decided to
revoke any BIS-issued licenses in which
Kharbey had an interest at the time of
his conviction.3
Accordingly, it is hereby Ordered:
First, from the date of this Order until
May 31, 2026, Fahad Saleem Kharbey,
with a last known address of Inmate
Number: 66834–018, FMC Lexington,
Federal Medical Center,
P.O. Box 14500, Lexington, KY 40512,
and when acting for or on his behalf, his
successors, assigns, employees, agents
or representatives (‘‘the Denied
Person’’), may not directly or indirectly
participate in any way in any
transaction involving any commodity,
software or technology (hereinafter
collectively referred to as ‘‘item’’)
exported or to be exported from the
United States that is subject to the
Regulations, including, but not limited
to:
A. Applying for, obtaining, or using
any license, license exception, or export
control document;
B. Carrying on negotiations
concerning, or ordering, buying,
receiving, using, selling, delivering,
2 The Regulations are currently codified in the
Code of Federal Regulations at 15 CFR parts 730–
774 (2020). The Regulations originally issued under
the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended,
50 U.S.C. 4601–4623 (Supp. III 2015) (‘‘EAA’’),
which lapsed on August 21, 2001. The President,
through Executive Order 13,222 of August 17, 2001
(3 CFR., 2001 Comp. 783 (2002)), which was
extended by successive Presidential Notices,
continued the Regulations in full force and effect
under the International Emergency Economic
Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. 1701, et seq. (2012)
(‘‘IEEPA’’). Section 1768 of ECRA, 50 U.S.C. 4826,
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. See note 1 above.
3 The Director, Office of Export Enforcement, is
now the authorizing official for issuance of denial
orders, pursuant to recent amendments to the
Regulations (85 FR 73411, November 18, 2020).
