The U.S. Department of Commerce issued an order denying Siddharth Bhatt's export privileges for ten years because he was convicted of illegally trying to export a thermal imaging camera to the UAE without the necessary license. Bhatt, who has addresses in Chicago and Mumbai, was sentenced to probation and fined. The order prohibits him and others acting on his behalf from participating in any transactions involving items subject to export regulations from the U.S. Bhatt can appeal this order within 45 days, but this denial takes immediate effect.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. government told Siddharth Bhatt, who lives in both Chicago and Mumbai, that he can't sell American products to other countries for ten years because he tried to send a special camera, that needs a special permission, to the UAE without asking first. If he disagrees with this, he has 45 days to say so, but for now, the rule still applies.
