In 2005, the Commerce Department
reported closing cases against five companies
for violations of U.S. antiboycott laws.
The violations included furnishing prohibited
business information to boycott-enforcing
countries and failing to report boycott-related
requests. The civil penalties ranged from
$6,000 to $22,5000 and totaled $57,500. In
addition, it appears that one criminal penalty
was imposed: a $500,000 fine on Maine
Biological Labs for complying with the boycott
and other violations of IEEPA.
