An Alternative You Can Trust: Our Commitment to Export Compliance.

In the ever-evolving world of international shipping and package forwarding, recent news has highlighted the critical importance of regulatory compliance. USGoBuy, a prominent player in the market, has faced significant penalties from the Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), including a three-year denial order prohibiting them from participating in all kinds of exports under BIS jurisdiction from the United States.

The Civil Penalty Against USGoBuy

The Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) recently took decisive action against USGoBuy LLC, a well-known package forwarding company based in Portland, Oregon. The BIS issued a three-year denial order against USGoBuy, prohibiting the company from participating in all exports under BIS jurisdiction from the United States. This measure was enacted due to USGoBuy’s failure to implement an adequate compliance program while under a suspended denial order.

This situation has its roots in a previous settlement agreement. On June 17, 2021, USGoBuy entered into a settlement agreement with BIS to resolve two alleged violations of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) involving unlicensed exports of riflescopes to end users in China and the United Arab Emirates. 

As part of this settlement agreement, USGoBuy agreed to a three-year suspended denial order, which stipulated that BIS could activate the denial order if the company failed to meet the settlement terms or committed additional violations of the EAR during the suspended denial period.

The implications of this activated denial order are significant. For the next three years, USGoBuy will be unable to facilitate exports, which is a severe blow to a company whose entire business model is based on exporting goods. This suspension not only disrupts USGoBuy’s operations but also leaves its customers, who depend on their services for international shipping, in a precarious situation.

Assistant Secretary for Export Enforcement Matthew S. Axelrod emphasized the gravity of the situation by stating,

If a forwarding company – with an entire business model based on exports – fails to implement an adequate compliance program even while subject to a suspended denial order, it should not be able to export items subject to the EAR from the United States. Let this denial order serve as a warning: if you don’t follow the terms of our administrative settlement and you lack a robust compliance department, you may lose the ability to export at all.

This order serves as a stark reminder of the critical importance of compliance in the shipping and forwarding industry. It highlights the need for companies to maintain robust compliance programs to ensure the legality and security of their operations, thereby safeguarding the interests of their customers and the integrity of international trade.

Customer-Initiated Transfer:

As a customer, you can initiate the transfer of your packages by providing a return label to USGoBuy.

Once the seller receives the returned packages, you can arrange for them to be sent to your new address with Global Shopaholics.
