BIS Bars Individual, Company Export Privileges for 10 Years Over Power Amplifier Sales

The Bureau of Industry and Security denied export privileges for Ming Xie and Horizon RX Systems for 10 years running from the date of Ming's May 2013 conviction. Ming is the president of Horizon RX Systems. BIS said the denial for Horizon RX Systems is necessary to prevent Ming's evasion of the BIS export ban. Ming knowingly and willingly exported and caused to export power amplifiers, both controlled by the State Department's U.S. Munitions List and BIS's Export Administration Regulations, from the U.S. to China without proper authorization. BIS put both Xie and Horizon RX on the Denied Persons List on Oct. 2 (see 14100226).
