DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE 

Bureau of Industry and Security 

In the Matter of: Behzad Pourghannad, 

NY11 AR Gandi, Tehran, Iran; Order 

Denying Export Privileges 

On November 13, 2019, in the U.S. 

District Court for the Southern District 

of New York, Behzad Pourghannad 

(‘‘Pourghannad’’) was convicted of 

violating the International Emergency 

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

et seq.) (‘‘IEEPA’’). Specifically, 

Pourghannad was convicted of IEEPA 

by conspiring to unlawfully export 

carbon fiber from the United States to 

Iran without having first obtained the 

required U.S. Government 

authorization. Pourghannad was 

sentenced to 20 months in prison 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, 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 Pourghannad’s 

conviction for violating IEEPA, and has 

provided notice and opportunity for 

Pourghannad 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 Pourghannad. 

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 Pourghannad’s 

export privileges under the Regulations 

for a period of 10 years from the date of 

Pourghannad’s conviction. The Office of 

Exporter Services has also decided to 

revoke any BIS-issued licenses in which 

Pourghannad had an interest at the time 

of his conviction.3

Accordingly, it is hereby ordered:
