BIS administrative enforcement settlement with Coastal PVA Technology, Inc. for unauthorized exports to Entity List parties

BIS announced an administrative enforcement settlement with Coastal PVA Technology, Inc., reinforcing enforcement expectations under the EAR for transactions involving Entity List parties. The settlement underscores that EAR99 items can still require authorization when exported/reexported/transferred to restricted parties (e.g., Entity List), and highlights due diligence expectations around distributor/reseller transactions and end-user screening, as well as compliance program elements such as procedures, training, and audits that may be required as settlement terms.
