June 17, 2015: Notice to Exporters 2015/17: ECO plays catchup

1. The Export Control Organisation (ECO) has two main targets for processing applications for Standard Individual Export Licences (SIELs). These are:

  • Primary target: 70 per cent of licence applications processed within 20 working days (2014 outturn 76 per cent).
  • Secondary target: 99 per cent of licence applications processed within 60 working days (2014 outturn 99 per cent).

2. ECO is currently handling a very high volume of applications for SIELs. As a result we are missing our primary target. At present it is taking 25 working days to process 70 per cent of applications rather than the standard 20 working days. We apologise for the inconvenience this is causing exporters.

Action for exporters

3. ECO is working hard to bring performance back on track. In the meantime we advise you to make licence applications as early as possible and flag urgent shipping dates, where known, in your applications. If you have a very urgent case and a delay in obtaining a licence will cause you to miss a shipping date, please contact your licensing officer – allocated through the SPIREsystem – or the ECO Helpline (020 7215 4594). We will seek to prioritise urgent cases.

4. We regularly publish export licensing performance data to help you plan your export business more effectively. This includes information about a range of markets so that you can gauge those destinations where it takes longer to obtain a licence. You should also check to see whether an Open General Licence will cover your exports. These are easy to register for and use.

OFAC Enforcement Action: $391,950 CMP for John Bean Technologies Corporation

The firm shipped goods on a blocked vessel managed by the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines (IRISL). The base penalty for the non-egregious, non voluntarily self-disclosed violations of Executive Order 13382 and the Weapons of Mass Destruction Non-Proliferation sanctions programs was $670,000. The total transaction amount, including fees paid to various parties, was a tad over $3 million.

Here’s OFAC’s logic in the final penalty amount:

OFAC considered the following to be aggravating factors:

  • (1) With
    respect to counts 2 and 3, JBT management knew of the conduct resulting in the Apparent
    Violations;
  • (2) economic benefit was conferred to a blocked entity, resulting in harm to the
    sanctions program objectives of the Regulations; and
  • (3) JBT is a sophisticated entity that conducts business throughout the world.

OFAC considered the following to be mitigating
factors:

  • (1) JBT has not been the subject of a Penalty Notice or a Finding of Violation from
    OFAC in the five years preceding the transactions constituting the Apparent Violations;
  • (2) JBT
    implemented some remedial measures to prevent a recurrence of the Apparent Violations,
    including employee training, enhancements to its compliance program, and enhanced party
    screening; and
  • (3) JBT cooperated with OFAC’s investigation, including, among other
    cooperation, by agreeing to toll the statute of limitations for 514 days.

OFAC Enforcement Action: It’s not the size that matters…

It’s the risk in your operation. OFAC fined National Bank of Pakistan $28,800 for seven violations of anti-terrorism sanctions.

The amount of the 7 funds transfers to Kyrgyz Trans Avia totalled $55,952.14, and the base penalty was $64,000.

But that’s not the interesting thing.

The penalty occured because the bank’s OFAC filter did not catch the reference to the sanctioned entity when the spaces between words were missing (e.g. “Kyrgyztransavia”). That might be something that would be allowed to slide by with a Cautionary Letter for small firms.

So, is this fine happening because the firm operates in that particular part of the world? Or, is this a “show penalty” like the Deutsche Bank fine (for not screening for BIC addresses) or the Wells Fargo fine (for not comparing the dates of birth to that on the OFAC SDN List)?

In case you were curious, here’s why the fine ended up at $28,800:

The following were considered aggravating factors:

  • NBP New York
    processed seven transactions involving an SDN, five of which conferred economic benefit to a
    sanctioned party and resulted in harm to the sanctions program objectives of the GTSR;
  • NBP
    New York is a sophisticated financial institution    ; and
  • NBP New York’s OFAC interdiction filter
    failed to generate an alert to an SDN in seven separate transactions.

The following were
considered mitigating factors:

  • no NBP New York managers or supervisors were aware of the
    conduct that led to the apparent violations;
  • NBP New York has not received a penalty notice or
    Finding of Violation from OFAC in the five years preceding the earliest date of the apparent
    violations;
  • NBP New York took appropriate remedial action in response to the apparent
    violations and took steps to enhance its OFAC interdiction filter; and
  • NBP New York cooperated
    with OFAC’s investigation.
