The US Department of Commerce (DOC) issued orders to stop offering export concessions for the three Russian airlines as a result of ongoing violations related to export controls on Russia imposed by the department.
The DOC’s three Temporary Denial Orders (TDOs) will block the transactions of these airlines in relation to exports and re-exports from the US.
The TDOs are said to be the first enforcement actions implemented by the US Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) in response to ‘Russia’s unprovoked and brutal invasion of Ukraine, and the severe restriction in export privileges of these companies is a reminder to parties in Russia, as well as throughout the rest of the world that US legal authorities are substantial, far-reaching and can have a meaningful impact on access to global commerce by parties found to be in violation of US law’.
The BIS extended its support to the DOC in its efforts to take multiple regulatory actions against Russia in the wake of the conflict.
