Order Denying Export Privileges 

On September 26, 2019, in the U.S. 

District Court for the Western District of 

Texas, Luis Martin Camarena 

(‘‘Camarena’’) was convicted of one 

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

Specifically, Camarena was convicted of 

knowingly and unlawfully concealing, 

buying, and facilitating the 

transportation and exportation from the 

United States to Mexico of two Ruger 

AR–556 rifles, two Smith and Wesson 

M&P15 rifles, one Century Arms 

International Mini-Draco pistol, one 

Century Arms International C308 rifle, 

one FNH M249 rifle, and related 

ammunition. As a result of his 

conviction, the Court sentenced 

Camarena to 52 months incarceration, 

with credit for time served; three years 

of supervised release; a $5,000 criminal 

fine; and a $100 court 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 Camarena’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 

Camarena to make a written submission 

to BIS. 15 CFR 766.25.2 BIS has not 

received a written submission from 

Camarena. 

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 Camarena’s 

export privileges under the Regulations 

for a period of 10 years from the date of 

Camarena’s conviction. The Office of 

Exporter Services has also decided to 

revoke any BIS-issued licenses in which 

Camarena had an interest at the time of 

his conviction.3
