of: Matteo Taerri, a/k/a Majid Taheri; 

705 Town Blvd. #433, Atlanta, GA 

30319; Order Denying Export 

Privileges 

On June 4, 2020, in the U.S. District 

Court for the Northern District of 

Georgia Matteo Taerri, a/k/a Majid 

Taheri (‘‘Taerri’’), was convicted of 

violating the International Emergency 

Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C § 1701, 

et seq. (2012)) (‘‘IEEPA’’). 

Specifically, Taerri was convicted of 

knowingly and willfully attempting to 

export a United States origin item from 

the United States to the Islamic 

Republic of Iran, that being a Prostak 

Filter Module, without having first 

obtained the required authorization 

from the United States Department of 

Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets 

Control. Taerri was sentenced to time 

served, supervised release for three 

years, and a $200 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, IEEPA, 

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 Taerri’s 

conviction for violating IEEPA, and has 

provided notice and opportunity for 

Taerri 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 Taerri. 

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 Taerri’s export 

privileges under the Regulations for a 

period of 10 years from the date of 

Taerri’s conviction. The Office of 

Exporter Services has also decided to 

revoke any BIS-issued licenses in which 

Taerri had an interest at the time of his 

conviction.3

Accordingly, it is hereby ordered: 

First, from the date of this Order until 

June 4, 2030, Matteo Taerri, a/k/a Majid 

Teheri, with a last known address of 705 

Town Blvd. #433, Atlanta, GA 30319, 

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,

Utility Scale Wind Towers From Spain: 

Antidumping Duty Order 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: Based on affirmative final 

determinations by the Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) and the 

International Trade Commission (ITC), 

Commerce is issuing an antidumping 

duty order on utility scale wind towers 

(wind towers) from Spain. 

DATES: Applicable August 16, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On June 25, 2021, Commerce 

published its affirmative final 

determination in the less-than-fair-value 

(LTFV) investigation of wind towers 

from Spain.1 On August 9, 2021, the ITC 

notified Commerce of its final 

affirmative determination that an 

industry in the United States is 

materially injured within the meaning 

of section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), by 

reason of imports of wind towers from 

Spain that are sold in the United States 

at LTFV.2

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by this order 

are wind towers. For a complete 

description of the scope of the order, see 

the appendix to this notice. 

Antidumping Duty Order 

On August 9, 2021, in accordance 

with sections 735(b)(1)(A)(i) and 735(d) 

of the Act, the ITC notified Commerce 

of its final determination that an 

industry in the United States is 

materially injured by reason of imports 

of wind towers from Spain. Therefore, 

in accordance with sections 735(c)(2) of 

the Act, Commerce is issuing this 

antidumping duty order. Because the 

ITC determined that imports of wind 

towers from Spain are materially 

injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated 

entries of such merchandise from Spain, 

which are entered or withdrawn from 

warehouse for consumption, are subject 

to the assessment of antidumping 

duties. 

In accordance with section 736(b)(1) 

of the Act, Commerce will instruct U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 

assess, upon further instruction by 

Commerce, antidumping duties equal to 

the amount by which the normal value 

of the merchandise exceeds the export 

price (or constructed export price) of the 

merchandise, for all relevant entries of 

wind towers from Spain. Antidumping 

duties will be assessed on unliquidated 

entries of wind towers from Spain 

which are entered, or withdrawn from 

warehouse, for consumption on or after 

April 2, 2021, the date of publication of 

the Preliminary Determination.3

Suspension of Liquidation and Cash 

Deposits 

In accordance with section 736 of the 

Act, Commerce will instruct CBP to 

reinstitute the suspension of liquidation 

of all relevant entries of wind towers 

from Spain as described in the
