§3105 — Title 22 Foreign Relations and Intercourse | U.S. Code

Summary

Not giving required information (in reports or any other way) or failing to follow rules, orders, or instructions under this law can lead to civil penalties. A federal court can order the person to provide the information or obey the rules, and it can fine them $2,500 to $25,000, or do both. If the failure was done on purpose, the person can be criminally convicted and fined up to $10,000 and, if an individual, jailed for up to one year, or both. Company officers, directors, employees, or agents who knowingly take part can get the same punishment.
