In the Matter of: Fahad Saleem 

Kharbey, Inmate Number: 66834–018, 

FMC Lexington, Federal Medical 

Center, P.O. Box 14500, Lexington, KY 

40512; Order Denying Export 

Privileges 

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. 

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,
