Taiwan-based DES International Co. and Brunei-based Soltech Industry Co. each agreed to pay fines of $83,769 after pleading guilty to Department of Justice (DOJ) charges of conspiring to violate U.S. export laws and sanctions by sending U.S.-origin goods to Iran.
The two business organizations were affiliated with each other through common directors, employees, and customers, the DOJ said in a press release Tuesday.
The companies procured goods from the United States for the benefit of Iranian government entities and business organizations, the DOJ said, with a sales agent for both DES and Soltech helping an Iranian research center obtain U.S. goods without a license from the U.S. Treasury Department.
