WASHINGTON -- Langham Transport Services, Inc., a freight forwarding company located in Indianapolis, Ind., today agreed to pay a $2,000 civil penalty for one alleged violation of the antiboycott provisions of the Export Administration Regulations, Assistant Secretary for Export Enforcement F. Amanda DeBusk announced.
The Department alleged that Langham, in a transaction involving a sale to the United Arab Emirates in 1995, furnished information regarding another person's business relationships with or in Israel.
Langham voluntarily disclosed the alleged violation to the Department and fully cooperated with the investigation. While neither admitting nor denying the allegation, the company agreed to pay the civil penalty.
The antiboycott provisions prohibit U. S. companies and individuals from complying with certain aspects of unsanctioned foreign boycotts against any country friendly to the United States that is not, itself, the object of any U. S. boycott. Through its Office of Antiboycott Compliance, the Commerce Department investigates alleged violations, provides support in administrative or criminal litigation of cases, and prepares cases for settlement.
In April of 2002 the Bureau of Export Administration (BXA) changed its name to the Bureau of Industry and Security(BIS). For historical purposes we have not changed the references to BXA in the legacy documents found in the Archived Press and Public Information.
