evidence: "Companies that do business with boycotting countries must be vigilant to ensure they detect prohibited boycott requests, report them to us, and decline to agree to them," said Assistant Secretary for Export Enforcement Matthew S. Axelrod. "When, as here, a freight forwarder asks you to certify that ‘no labor, capital, parts or raw materials of Israeli origin have been used in the printing, publishing or manufacture of these goods,’ the right response is to decline and to report the request – otherwise, there will be consequences." [...] BIS has enhanced its antiboycott enforcement efforts to prevent U.S. companies from being used to support unsanctioned foreign boycotts, most notably the Arab League Boycott of Israel. In October 2022, BIS raised its penalties and instituted a requirement that companies entering into settlement agreements for antiboycott violations admit to a statement of facts outlining their conduct. In July 2023, BIS announced a renewed focus on foreign subsidiaries of U.S. companies and noted that it would explore additional ways to deter foreign parties from issuing or making boycott requests. BIS also modified the boycott reporting form to require submitters to indicate the identity of the requesting party.
