DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Bureau of Industry and Security 

In the Matter of: Issam Hamade, Beirut, 

Galerie Semaan, Behind Karout Mall, 

Kalaa Building 3rd Floor, Beirut, 

Lebanon; Order Denying Export 

Privileges 

On April 27, 2020, in the U.S. District 

Court for the District of Minnesota, 

Issam Hamade (‘‘Hamade’’), was 

convicted of violating 18 U.S.C. 371. 

Specifically, Hamade was convicted of 

conspiring to export parts and 

technology from the United States to 

Lebanon, and specifically to Hizballah, 

for among other purposes, inclusion in 

unmanned aerial vehicles, without 

obtaining the required export licenses 

under the Export Administration 

Regulations or under the International 

Traffic in Arms Regulations. Hamade 

was sentenced to time served and a 

$100 special 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, 18 U.S.C. 

371, 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. 

BIS received notice of Hamade’s 

conviction for violating 18 U.S.C. 371, 

and has provided notice and 

opportunity for Hamade 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 Hamade. 

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 Hamade’s export 

privileges under the Regulations for a 

period of 10 years from the date of 

Hamade’s conviction. I have also 

decided to revoke any BIS-issued 

licenses in which Hamade had an 

interest at the time of his conviction.3

Accordingly, it is hereby ordered: 

First, from the date of this Order until 

April 27, 2030, Issam Hamade, with a 

last known address of Beirut, Galerie 

Semaan, Behind Karout Mall, Kalaa

and when acting for or on his behalf, his 

successors, assigns, employees, agents 

or representatives (‘‘the Denied

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, 

storing, disposing of, forwarding, 

transporting, financing, or otherwise

exported from the United States that is 

subject to the Regulations, or engaging 

in any other activity subject to the 

Regulations; or 

7694 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 19 / Monday, February 1, 2021 / Notices 

C. Benefitting in any way from any 

transaction involving any item exported 

or to be exported from the United States 

that is subject to the Regulations, or 

from any other activity subject to the 

Regulations. 

Second, no person may, directly or 

indirectly, do any of the following: 

A. Export or reexport to or on behalf 

of the Denied Person any item subject to 

the Regulations; 

B. Take any action that facilitates the 

acquisition or attempted acquisition by 

the Denied Person of the ownership, 

possession, or control of any item 

subject to the Regulations that has been 

or will be exported from the United 

States, including financing or other 

support activities related to a 

transaction whereby the Denied Person 

acquires or attempts to acquire such 

ownership, possession or control; 

C. Take any action to acquire from or 

to facilitate the acquisition or attempted 

acquisition from the Denied Person of 

any item subject to the Regulations that 

has been exported from the United 

States;

the United States any item subject to the 

Regulations with knowledge or reason 

to know that the item will be, or is 

intended to be, exported from the 

United States; or 

E. Engage in any transaction to service 

any item subject to the Regulations that 

has been or will be exported from the 

United States and which is owned, 

possessed or controlled by the Denied 

Person, or service any item, of whatever 

origin, that is owned, possessed or 

controlled by the Denied Person if such 

service involves the use of any item 

subject to the Regulations that has been 

or will be exported from the United 

States. For purposes of this paragraph, 

servicing means installation, 

maintenance, repair, modification or 

testing. 

Third, pursuant to Section 1760(e) of 

the Export Control Reform Act (50 

U.S.C. 4819(e)) and Sections 766.23 and

responsibility, affiliation, or other 

connection in the conduct of trade or
