Box 27137, Fort Worth, TX 76127; 

Order Denying Export Privileges 

On June 23, 2022, in the U.S. District 

Court for the Southern District of Texas, 

Samantha Coronado (‘‘Coronado’’) was 

convicted of violating 18 U.S.C. 554(a). 

Specifically, Coronado was convicted of 

smuggling 730 rounds of CBC .50 caliber 

ammunition from the United States to 

Mexico. As a result of her conviction, 

the Court sentenced Coronado to 46 

months of confinement, three years of 

supervised release 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, 18 U.S.C. 

554, 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). 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 Coronado’s 

conviction for violating 18 U.S.C. 554. 

As provided in Section 766.25 of the 

Export Administration Regulations 

(‘‘EAR’’ or the ‘‘Regulations’’), BIS 

provided notice and opportunity for 

Coronado to make a written submission 

to BIS. 15 CFR 766.25.2 BIS has not 

received a written submission from 

Coronado. 

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 Coronado’s 

export privileges under the Regulations 

for a period of seven years from the date 

of Coronado’s conviction. The Office of 

Exporter Services has also decided to 

revoke any BIS-issued licenses in which 

Coronado had an interest at the time of 

her conviction.3
