The United States announced export restrictions against two companies, suspecting them of ties to Russia. The corresponding notice was placed in the federal register by the Bureau of Industry and Security of the US Department of Commerce, RBC reports. It comes into force on November 21.
Restrictions have been introduced against the Novax Group – the American side suspects it of having connections not only with Russia, but also with Venezuela, Panama and Costa Rica, as well as against the Indian Si2 Microsystems Private Limited. The ministry believes that it “provided support to the Russian military and/or defense industry” by supplying chips manufactured in the United States, and the recipients were companies “associated with the Russian defense sector.”
Two more companies were subject to restrictions. These are Zero Waste Global SA, allegedly linked to Panama and Venezuela, and Spain’s Aerofalcon SL. The latter conducted activities “contrary to US national interests” by supplying US-made aircraft parts to the government of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, the ministry said.
Being subject to export restrictions means that suppliers must obtain special export permits from the US Department of Commerce.
