Pursuant to § 766.24 of the Export 

Administration Regulations (the 

‘‘Regulations’’ or ‘‘EAR’’),1 I hereby 

grant the request of the Office of Export 

Enforcement (‘‘OEE’’) to modify the 

January 3, 2014 Order Denying the 

Export Privileges of Adaero 

International Trade LLC, Recep Sadettin 

Ilgin, 3K Aviation Consulting and 

Logistics, Huseyin Engin Borluca and 

Pouya Air, as I find that modification of 

the Temporary Denial Order (‘‘TDO’’) is 

necessary in the public interest to 

prevent an imminent violation of the 

EAR. Specifically, I find it necessary to 

add the following person as an 

additional Respondent in order to 

prevent an imminent violation of the 

Regulations and the TDO: Evans 

Meridians Ltd., Drake Chambers, 1st 

Floor, Yamraj Building, P.O. Box 3321, 

Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin 

Islands. 

I. Procedural History 

On January 3, 2014, I signed a TDO 

denying for 180 days the export 

privileges of 3K Aviation Consulting & 

Logistics, also known as 3K Havacilik 

Ve Danismanlik SAN. TIC. LTD. ST. 

(‘‘3K Aviation’’); Huseyin Engin Boluca 

(3K Aviation Consulting & Leasing’s 

founder and director); Adaero 

International Trade, LLC (‘‘Adaero’’); 

Recep Sadettin Ilgin (Adaero 

International Trade’s managing 

director); and Pouya Airline, also 

known as Pouya Air. The TDO was 

issued ex parte pursuant to § 766.24(a) 

and went into effect upon issuance on 

January 3, 2014. The TDO was 

published in the Federal Register on 

January 10, 2014. 79 FR 1823 (Jan. 10, 

2014). 

In connection with the TDO, OEE 

presented evidence that in December 

2013, two U.S.-origin General Electric 

CF6 aircraft engines 2 bearing 

manufacturer’s serial numbers (‘‘MSN’’) 

695244 and 705112 were transported on 

behalf of Adaero International Trade, 

LLC to 3K Aviation Consulting & 

Logistics (‘‘3K Aviation’’), which is 

located in Turkey, and that 3K Aviation 

was preparing to re-export the engines 

to Iran without the U.S. Government 

authorization required by § 746.7 of the 

EAR. OEE had further information that 

Pouya Airline, an Iranian cargo airline, 

was scheduled to transport both engines 

from Turkey to Iran on January 7, 2014. 

As discussed further below, OEE has 

obtained evidence following issuance of 

the TDO of Evans Meridians Ltd.’s 

involvement in the attempted export or 

reexport of the items to Iran. 

II. Temporarily Denying Evans 

Meridians Ltd.’s Export Privileges 

A. Legal Standard 

Pursuant to § 766.24(b) of the 

Regulations, BIS may issue 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(b)(1). ‘‘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 charges is significant, 

deliberate, covert and/or likely to occur 

again, rather than technical or negligent 

[.]’’ Id. A ‘‘lack 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. 

B. BIS’s Request To Add Evans 

Meridians Ltd. to the TDO 

In its request, OEE has presented 

evidence demonstrating that Evans 

Meridians Ltd. (‘‘Evans Meridians’’), a 

British Virgin Islands company, is 

involved with the transaction described 

in the TDO. Prior to issuance of the 

TDO, OEE did not have evidence of 

Evans Meridians’ relationship to the 

items or role in the transaction. If the 

evidence presented in support of this 

modification had been available during 

consideration of the TDO, OEE would 

have sought to include Evans Meridians 

as a denied person on the TDO when 

issued on January 3, 2014. 

The TDO stated that the engines were 

transported to 3K Aviation on behalf of 

Adaero. While it remains true that 

Adaero was involved in both the sale of 

the engines and the transfer of the 

engines from Germany to Turkey, 

evidence obtained by OEE and 

presented as part of this request shows 

that Evans Meridians appears on 

documents as the purchaser and has 

acted as the owner of the items in 

connection with their transfer to 3K 

Aviation en route to Iran. The two 

aircraft engines remain in the 

possession and/or control of 3K 

Aviation in Turkey in violation of the 

TDO. Moreover, Evans Meridians has 

made payment to 3K Aviation, a denied 

person, for customs storage fees for the 

engines. The payment to 3K Aviation 

was made on or about January 21, 2014, 

that is, 18 days after the TDO issued on 

January 3, 2014, and 11 days after 

publication of the TDO on January 10, 

2014, in violation of the Regulations 

and/or the TDO. The evidence 

presented by OEE also supports its 

reasonable belief that the continued
