BIS Imposes Civil Penalty on Rhode Island Company for Antiboycott Violations

The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) announced on June 15, 2005 that Hord Crystal Corporation (Hord) of Pawtucket, Rhode Island, agreed to pay a $12,500 civil penalty to settle allegations that it violated the antiboycott provisions of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). BIS alleged that on four occasions, Hord, in connection with transactions involving the sale and transfer of goods from the U.S. to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, furnished prohibited information about its business relationships with Israel in violation of the EAR. Specifically, Hord certified on shipping documents that the goods were "neither of Israeli origin nor do they contain Israeli materials, nor are being exported from Israel." BIS also alleged that Hord failed to report in a timely manner its receipt of a request from Dubai to provide such certification.
