(hereinafter collectively referred to as 

the ‘‘Respondents’’) for 180 days. 

On August 29, 2007, four of the 

Respondents, Aviation Services 

International, B.V. (‘‘ASI’’) and its 

president, Robert Kraaipoel, and TPC, 

B.V. and Delta Logistics, B.V., two 

companies owned and operated by 

Robert Kraaipoel and his son, Niels 

Kraaipoel, were criminally charged with 

five counts of violations encompassing 

IEEPA, the Iranian Transactions 

Regulations (‘‘ITR’’) 2 of the Treasury 

Department’s Office of Foreign Assets 

Control (‘‘OFAC’’), and 18 U.S.C. 1001 

and 2. The criminal complaint alleged 

that they participated in the willful 

export and attempted export to Iran of 

U.S. origin items during the 2006–2007 

period without the required 

authorization from OFAC and made 

false statements in 2005 and 2006 to the 

U.S. Government regarding end-use and 

end-users in connection with the export 

of U.S. origin items. The complaint also 

alleged that Niels Kraaipoel, ASI’s sales 

manager, was aware of the U.S. embargo 

against Iran. The Respondents allegedly 

exported or attempted to export items 

through the Netherlands to Iran and 

concealed the true identify of the endusers. 

In its request, BIS has presented 

evidence that shows that on two 

occasions in 2005 and 2006, the 

Respondents caused the export of items 

subject to the EAR and set forth on the 

Commerce Control List 3 from the 

United States to Netherlands and made 

false statements regarding end-use and 

end-users in connection with these 

transactions. Specifically, in November 

2005 and January 2006, the Respondents 

caused receivers and video transmitters 

to be exported from the United States to 

the Netherlands. These items are subject 

to the EAR and are controlled for antiterrorism reasons (ECCN 4 5A991). The 

Respondents falsely claimed that the 

ultimate consignee was the Polish 

Border Control Agency (‘‘PBCA’’) in 

Poland and that the items would be 

used by PBCA in Unmanned Air 

Vehicles (‘‘UAVs’’). The U.S. 

Government obtained information 

indicating that the PBCA did not own 

UAVs and therefore would have no 

need for this type of equipment. 

Further, the information demonstrated 

that the PBCA had never contracted 

with ASI for equipment of any kind. ASI 

provided this false information to the 

U.S. exporter who in turn included it on 

the Shipper’s Export Declarations 

(‘‘SEDs’’) it filed with the U.S. 

Government. 

Subsequently, as alleged in the 

criminal complaint, in May 2007, in 

response to a request from the U.S. 

exporter for end-user information 

regarding spare parts to be provided for 

the electronic equipment previously 

purchased by ASI, an employee of ASI 

submitted an end-user statement from 


rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 195 / Wednesday, October 10, 2007 / Notices 57521 

Lavantia, Ltd., a business purportedly 

located in Nicosia, Cyprus that is 

believed to serve as a purchaser of U.S.- 

origin items for Iranian businesses and 

governmental agencies. 

Additionally, BIS has presented 

evidence that shows that the 

Respondents made false statements 

regarding end-use and end-users in 

connection with the causing of an 

attempted export of national securitycontrolled items to the Netherlands. The 

criminal complaint alleges that this 

shipment was actually an attempted 

unlawful export to Iran in violation of 

the ITR and IEEPA. Specifically, on or 

about March 30, 2007, a U.S. company 

attempted to ship polymide film, an 

item subject to the EAR and controlled 

for national security reasons (ECCN 

1C008.A.3), to Delta Logistics in the 

Netherlands. The shipment was 

detained when it was discovered that 

Delta Logistics was in fact ASI operating 

under a different name. When asked by 

the U.S. freight forwarder to provide an 

end-user statement, ASI’s Robert 

Kraaipoel refused. Robert Kraaipoel 

subsequently represented to the U.S. 

exporter that he had a buyer for the item 

named Mojir Trading, located in Dubai, 

UAE. On or about July 9, 2007, the U.S. 

exporter received a purchase order and 

end-user statement purportedly from 

Mojir Trading’s managing director 

stating that the polymide film was 

destined for the UAE, and that the film 

would be used for sealing large 

electromotor fittings. The purchase 

order demonstrated that Delta Logistics 

B.V., a company owned by Niels 

Kraaipoel and Robert Kraaipoel, 

participated in this transaction. 

Following repeated efforts to contact 

Mojir Trading, the U.S. Government 

determined that there was no listing in 

the UAE for either the company or its 

purported managing director. 

I find that the evidence presented by 

BIS demonstrates that the Respondents 

have knowingly violated the EAR, that 

such violations have been deliberate 

and covert, and that there is a likelihood 

of future violations, particularly given 

the nature of the transactions. For these 

reasons, I find that an imminent 

violation exists within the meaning of 

Section 766.24(b)(2). As such, a 

Temporary Denial Order (‘‘TDO’’) is 

needed to give notice to persons and 

companies in the United States and 

abroad that they should cease dealing 

with the Respondents in export 

transactions involving items subjects to 

the EAR. Such a TDO is consistent with 

the public interest to preclude future 

violations of the EAR. 

Accordingly, I find that a TDO 

naming Aviation Services International, 

B.V., T.P.C, B.V., and Delta Logistics, 

B.V., in the Netherlands, and Lavantia, 

Ltd. in Cyprus, and Mojir Trading in the 

U.A.E., respectively, and Robert 

Kraaipoel, Niels Kraaipoel, Mia Van 

Gemert, Reza Amidi, and Mita Zarek, as 

Respondents is necessary, in the public 

interest, to prevent an imminent 

violation of the EAR. This Order is 

issued on an ex parte basis without a 

hearing based upon BIS’s showing of an 

imminent violation. 

It is therefore ordered: 

First, that the Respondents,
