In the Matter of: Behzad Pourghannad,
NY11 AR Gandi, Tehran, Iran; Order
Denying Export Privileges
On November 13, 2019, in the U.S.
District Court for the Southern District
of New York, Behzad Pourghannad
(‘‘Pourghannad’’) was convicted of
violating the International Emergency
Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701,
et seq.) (‘‘IEEPA’’). Specifically,
Pourghannad was convicted of IEEPA
by conspiring to unlawfully export
carbon fiber from the United States to
Iran without having first obtained the
required U.S. Government
authorization. Pourghannad was
sentenced to 20 months in prison and a
$100 assessment.
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, IEEPA,
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
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. Pourghannad’s conviction post-dates
ECRA’s enactment on August 13, 2018.

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.
BIS received notice of Pourghannad’s
conviction for violating IEEPA, and has
provided notice and opportunity for
Pourghannad 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 Pourghannad.
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 Pourghannad’s
export privileges under the Regulations
for a period of 10 years from the date of
Pourghannad’s conviction. The Office of
Exporter Services has also decided to
revoke any BIS-issued licenses in which
Pourghannad had an interest at the time
of his conviction.3
Accordingly, it is hereby ordered:
2 The Regulations are currently codified in the
Code of Federal Regulations at 15 CFR parts 730–
774 (2021).
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).
