FedEx is suing the United States Department of Commerce, claiming that it has been essentially deputised to enforce its trade blacklist.
In a statement today about the lawsuit, FedEx said that the current export ban places an unreasonable burden on FedEx to police the millions of shipments that transit our network every day. Filed on Monday, the lawsuit asks the U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia to stop the Department of Commerce from enforcing prohibitions in the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) against FedEx.
The whole saga needs to end as soon as possible.
